Starting over can be a difficult event for most of us. In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells us of the “Prodigal Son” who returns home to his “forgiving father “who has been waiting to celebrate his return.

This Sunday's Gospel presents us with the parable of the fig tree. This parable calls us to trust in God who always offers us a “second chance.” God waits for us with patience and mercy.

Fr. Joseph M. Herzstein, C.S.Sp., of Philadelphia, PA, a member of the Congregation of the Holy Spirit, died peacefully on March 13, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Arusha, Tanzania. He was 88 years of age.

In this Sunday’s Gospel, we hear the story of Jesus’s Transfiguration. During our Lenten journey, we are called to be transformed and hear God’s voice tell us, “This is my beloved Son, listen to him.” Like those first disciples, we can become afraid but we acknowledge how good it is to be here with the Lord.

As we celebrate the first Sunday of Lent, we are called to invite Jesus into the deserts of our lives. We call out to God for refreshment and renewal.
