3 Convenient Categories of Lenten Resolutions – Mar 05 – Homily – Fr Matthias

 

After a brief overview of the life of the penitential Franciscan Saint John Joseph of the Cross (priest of the Alcantaran reform, Mar 05), Fr. Matthias offers guidance for making an effective and meritorious Lenten resolution (4:27). Identifying the main principle to observe, he offers three practical categories to choose from which are readily available in the life of everyone.

It is not necessary to find some creative penance in order to make this Lent a most spiritually fruitful time or penance, purification, and growth in love of the Lord, as life offers plenty of ready-made possibilities for meaningful and meritorious mortification.

Ave Maria!
