First Sunday of Lent: Lead us not into temptation
Today we begin a new season, the season of Lent. Lent is associated with penance and people do not look forward to this season, yet the Church calls Lent a joyful season because the focus is not so much on penance for the sake of penance, but rather on preparing for the great mysteries of Easter. May His Word help us to make right choices. Have a joyful Lenten weekend!
