4 April • Living Faithfully: Risks, Persecution, and Hope in Lent
Fr. Brendan reflects on the challenging readings of Friday in the fourth week of Lent, exploring the themes of risk, persecution, and unwavering faith. He draws parallels between the Gospel's accounts of Jesus facing threats and the modern-day struggles of those persecuted for their beliefs.
This reflection acknowledges the reality of suffering and risk within the Christian journey, highlighting the sacrifices made by individuals like Martin Luther King Jr. and the Dominican Family in Myanmar. Fr. Brendan emphasizes that Lent is a time to open our eyes to the risks others take for their faith and to recognize the call to share a message of hope, even in the face of adversity.
Join us as we contemplate the courage required to live faithfully and extend hope to a world in need.
