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.
Like the bronze serpent offered healing in the desert, Jesus offers us complete redemption and the path to new life. Lent, Fr. Tom explains, is not just about temporary discipline but about embracing this forward movement into life in the Spirit. Let's fix our eyes on Jesus and walk with Him into the new life He promises.
