1st Sunday in Lent 2024
We are particularly the objects of temptation during this season in which God is calling us to sanctity. During the temptation of Christ in the desert, Our Lord was not drawn to the evil as we are. St. Margaret of Cortona after discovering her lover’s body, made a complete conversion of life. The great sin combatted during Lent is impurity. Many vocations and many marriages are destroyed by pornography, which is now so accessible, even to little children. Parents will be greatly punished if they are not vigilant in protecting their children from this danger to their souls. Penance is a virtue that is infused by almighty God, which inclines a soul to hate its sins, because they offend almighty God. It is up to us to make up for the sins we have committed.
