CARRYING OUT THE PRACTICE OF LENT AS A TIME OF ENLIGHTENMENT PURIFICATION..............

Crossing over the halfway point of Lent 2014, as the Elect for Christian Initiation at Easter  are undergoing the rites of the Scrutinies, all Catholic-Christians are summed to the Purification and Enlightenment that purges us from sin and  continues the radical change in our hearts, so that we can repent  and  return to focusing on and following the way of the Lord Jesus and Discipleship we share with the  Divine  for our Salvation.  Taking our relationships with God The Father, Jesus Our Savior, and their Sanctifying Holy Spirit, is the vital connection  we need to effectively experience a renewal of Faith and Fidelity to Gospel Values with purified hearts and enlightened minds, dedicated to God's  Greater Glory and the Common  Good of Humankind.  On this Fourth Sunday of Lent, with three weeks  to the Solemnity of Easter Sunday how is the personal and communal renunciation of sin  and renewed faithfulness to answering God's Call impacting our lives as we seek to be enfolded anew, in the Redemption of the Paschal Mystery ?..............Father Troy David
