Dear Friends,
Lent continues—and ends—this month.
As it continues, we do well to remember that no matter how it has gone so far—whether we’ve really nailed our Lenten resolutions like all-stars, or we’ve felt like amateurs competing way out of our league—God never has a bad day, never fluctuates in his commitments, and is always, here and now, our salvation, our strength.
And in a few weeks, when Lent finally gives way to Easter, may nothing—no lingering discouragement or regret—cloud or impede our joy in the Lord’s victory over sin and death. Lo, I am about to create a new heavens and a new earth; the things of the past shall not be remembered or come to mind. Instead, there shall always be rejoicing and happiness in what I create (Is 65: 17-18).
In Jesus and Mary,
