A blog by a displaced Catholic Texan working at a parish in a suburb of Milwaukee. Who knows what you're going to get. I am currently looking for employment (a job) in the Washington DC area in catechesis as a youth minister, adult minister, or something along those lines.

Lent Reflection: First Wednesday of Lent

The responsorial psalm today says "A heart contrite and humbled, O God, you will not spurn."  This is the bridge between the first reading and the Gospel, a piece that syncs the two together.  Nineveh repented with a humble and contrite heart and thus was not spurned.  Jesus calls us to have the same humble and contrite heart.  But how do we go about doing that?

In lieu of reflecting extensively today, I'm going to link to an excellent, excellent article I read about preparing for the Sacrament of Reconciliation as an adult.  It's a method I plan on using the next time I am preparing to go to participate in the Sacrament.  Check out the link -- in fact the entire Archdiocese of Washington blog is dynamite.  I hope one day to be able to work in that fine archdiocese or one near it.

Blessings,
Isaac
