Elizabeth Ficocelli and the Gift of Lenten Confession

Sun, 07 Mar 2010 20:34:27 +0000

Most of us don’t think of Lent as a season of gifts. Most have trouble thinking of Lent itself as a gift. And perhaps one part of this struggle is because the Holy Season of Lent reminds us to take seriously the 2,000 year old call of Jesus, the call to repentance. That call is [...]
