Father Greg Writes

- On this First Sunday of Lent, we hear in the Gospel how Jesus is led into the desert to be tempted (Matthew 4:1–11). In the wilderness, Jesus faces hunger, doubt, and the temptation to choose an easier path. He resists each one by trusting in God’s word and remaining faithful to his mission. Lent invites us into our own desert experience — a time of prayer, self-discipline, and renewed trust in God— so that we may grow stronger in faith and more attentive to the needs of others.
- This Friday is CAFOD Family Fast Day, an opportunity to stand in solidarity with those who face hunger and hardship every day. Next weekend there will be a second collection for CAFOD, supporting their vital work with some of the poorest communities in the world. Through prayer, fasting, and generosity, we are reminded that Lent is always outward-looking.
- As we journey through Lent, we are also mindful of Bishop Patrick’s Five-Year Diocesan Mission Plan, “Go, make disciples of all nations.” Lent is a privileged time to renew our commitment to this call — deepening our own relationship with Christ and finding simple, practical ways to share faith, hope, and love with others.
