In order to undertake more seriously our journey towards Easter and prepare ourselves to celebrate the Resurrection of the Lord ”“ the most joyous and solemn feast of the entire liturgical year ”“ what could be more appropriate than allowing ourselves to be guided by the Word of God? For this reason, the Church, in the Gospel texts of the Sundays of Lent, leads us to a particularly intense encounter with the Lord, calling us to retrace the steps of Christian initiation: for catechumens, in preparation for receiving the Sacrament of rebirth; for the baptized, in light of the new and decisive steps to be taken in the sequela Christi and a fuller giving of oneself to him.
Thank you for posting this.
Nice and meaty. A good start for the season.
