First Sunday of Lent

On this first Sunday of Lent, we recall the important of the three areas we are called to focus on during this special season.  For our Catechisms, this week is very special as they are called to the Rite of Election.  For those of us already baptized, it is a time of repentance and renewal through the practice of Prayer, Fasting and almsgiving.  Lent is about our baptismal covenant with God.  The promises that we have made and will make, rejecting Satan and professing our faith in God.                 – Deacon Jim
