Scripture of the Week - Prep for Lent

 


Scripture of the Week

From my professor:

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." - 1 Peter 5:6

Again, another great reminder of what we should be doing for the Season of Septuagesima! If we truly humble ourselves and approach Lent with a tabla rasa, we can choose a fitting penance to offer up for the Season of Lent. Enduring suffering is something we do as Christians not because the Church has ordered it - but because we know that through uniting our suffering to Christ's Passion and death, even as minor as our's may be in comparison, is the path to becoming more like Christ - it is the path to salvation.

AMDG,
