FIRST SUNDAY IN LENT

 

We begin our Lenten Series with a focus on the Holy Spirit, the person of the Trinity that animates and renews. It is the Spirit that reveals Jesus to us, and it is with the Spirit’s help that we are led forward, encouraged, and guided in our path of holiness and mission both personally and communally. It was the Spirit that led Jesus into the wilderness, as we read in today’s Gospel, for a time of discernment, testing,
and strengthening. 

We pray for an openness to the Spirit’s promptings and that the Holy Spirit will lead and empower each of us in the Diocese of Broken Bay as we seek to animate Bishop Anthony’s priorities in our lives and in our communities, and in doing so, continue Jesus’ mission of sharing His Good News that has been entrusted to us.
