This weekend marks the Third
Sunday
of Lent. It has been just 2˝
weeks since the season
started, when we received
ashes on our foreheads and
were all reminded to "Repent
and believe in the Good
News."
During this season, we
are asked to take a good
look at ourselves, to
recognize our sinfulness,
and to renew our commitment
to follow our Lord. Probably
the most difficult thing for
us to do is acknowledge is
our sinfulness. We can
declare that as human
beings, we are sinful, but
do we personally look at our
lives and recognize our own
sinfulness? How have we
offended God? How have we
hurt our neighbor? Once we
acknowledge our own sins,
what can we do to atone for
our sins? What acts of
penance do we perform? Are
they really acts of penance?
It is only by
recognizing our sinfulness
and acts of penance can we
really appreciate and begin
to understand our Lord’s
Passion and Death. And only
when we place ourselves with
our Lord, will we really
understand His triumph in
the Resurrection.
Let all of us make this
season of Lent a true season
of penance and renewal.
God Bless! Fr. Joe
Bacevice
