Hope, Faith, and Love in Lent: Reflecting on Personal Change and Biblical Examples

Homily from Ash Wednesday.

We hope He sees. We have faith it matters to Him. We do it because He said so.

During Lent, we have the chance to make our lives an act of hope, faith, and love. More than growing in discipline or self-improvement, Lent is a chance to live what we believe by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
