Homily from 3-17-24

How's your Lent going?  Now 5 weeks in, next week is Holy Week already!  Have you kept up with your Lenten fasts?  Have you needed to restart once or twice (or maybe more!)?  That's OK!  And if you stopped and haven't gotten back on the wagon, today is the best day to start.  Our Gospel today reminds us that, like Jesus did for us at the Last Supper and on the Cross, we also need to die to ourselves, to all that keeps us from following Christ, so that we might have a newness of and everlasting life in, through, and with him.  Hasn't been going well lately?  No worries...let's (re)start today!
