Fr. Tom Lynch, OP

Are you tempted to go back to old habits after Lent? Fr. Tom Lynch OP challenges that mindset in this A Word of Hope reflection. Drawing parallels between the Israelites grumbling in the desert (wanting to return to Egypt!) and our own spiritual journey, he points to the ultimate remedy: Jesus lifted up on the cross.

Fr. Tom Lynch OP delves into the gripping story of Susanna from Daniel 13. Faced with lustful elders, she had to choose between secret sin and public disgrace (likely leading to death).

In the Our Father, Jesus challenges us that we must forgive others if we want God to forgive us.

The people were led into the desert for 40 years to learn to rely on God. Jesus was led into the desert for 40 days hear God's word. This Lent, let us walk day by day further into God's loving embrace.

In an extra video for today, we hear about the call of the Prophet Jeremiah. God knows Jeremiah better than he knows himself, and Jeremiah will discover his own strengths as he lives out this call. Let us find ourselves by following our call.

An extra video for today. When Jesus and his disciples were in a storm at sea, Jesus chastised them for their fear and then calmed the waters. Let us pray for faith like Jesus' and use what faith we have to overcome our fears.
