The Second Sunday of Lent

PARISH INFORMATION AND MASS TIMES ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF EACH WEB PAGE

Go towards the light.  Today, God calls people to trust Him. In each reading, we see someone stepping forward with faith. Abram leaves his home. The disciples follow Jesus up the mountain. Paul tells Timothy to keep going even when life is hard.

These readings help us see that Lent is a time to listen and follow. God may lead us in ways we do not expect. We are not meant to stay in one place. Just like Abram and the disciples, we are called to move forward with hope.
