First Sunday of Lent—February 22, 2015
God is not indifferent to our world; he so
loves it that he gave his Son for our
salvation. In the Incarnation, in the earthly
life, death, and resurrection of the Son of
God, the gate between God and man,
between heaven and earth, opens once for all.
The Church is like the hand holding open
this gate, thanks to her proclamation of
God’s word, her celebration of the
sacraments and her witness of the faith which
works through love.
