God made us to live in the light of his love. But this original friendship with God was corrupted by sin. Our sin causes us to shy away from Christ, the light that has come into the world. During the season of Lent, we try to fight this tendency by remembering God’s great mercy and the salvation that we have received through Jesus. We should not fear confessing our sins, knowing that God forgives us, and so, during Lent, we seek out opportunities to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation. (Our parish reconciliation service is scheduled for March 14 at 7 pm.)
Adults: When have you been in “darkness” (grief, anger, resentment, jealousy) and how/when did His light enter?
Children: How can you spread the light of Jesus into the darkness of the world?
