All through Lent we have been focusing on those Ash Wednesday words, repent and believe in the Gospel. Today, with Lent more than half over, we rejoice over the good news that God wants to reconcile with us. So let us pray today for the grace to persevere through the rest of Lent, preparing ourselves to celebrate Easter and our reconciliation with our loving God. Tuesday, March 8 8:00 AM Sarah G.
