This 2nd Sunday of Lent, Mark 9:2-10 asks us to revisit Christ as the"beloved Son,"and rededicate ourselves to Jesus. Our Lenten journey should replicate Matthew 5-7--doing good works: caring for the sick, feeding the hungry, sheltering the homeless, helping the poor.

On this last day of #BlackHistoryMonth, I hope my fellow Catholics and Christians will consider how anti-racist activism can be focal points for our Lenten journey--reading the sermons of MLK, pledging to fight white nationalism, spreading the word of racial justice.

Lent is supposed to be about connecting our personal faith to the path toward the Resurrection. The suffering Christ endured centered on his activism and the reformist work he was doing which put him at odds with the State. We can follow that model and speak truth to power.

The foundational tenet of the Christian message is also the most activist template: the Sermon on the Mount, where Christ tells us the importance of universal love and how we are obligated to each other through him and his love for us. Amen.
Have a blessed day. 🌿🕊
