Weekday Homily ~ Tuesday of the First Week of Lent

Reading's for today's Homily

The word Lent comes from an old English word that means Spring. At least in our part of the world, Lent and Spring go together. And despite the harshness of this winter, maybe a day like today tells us that Spring is here soon!

As we hear that Lent and Spring are synonymous, maybe we can look into our own lives and see how the dead of Winter in our spiritual life might be transformed into springtime.

Maybe using the three prongs of Lent, prayer, self denial and acts of charity, we may bring new life to our souls.

Msgr. Daniel F. Hoye
