For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so, through the obedience of the one, the many will be made righteous. (Rom 5:12-19)

Sometimes we forget the Good News of Lent—there is salvation. As the Easter Exultet joyfully proclaims: “O happy fault, O necessary sin of Adam, that won for us so great a redeemer!” This First Sunday used to be the beginning of Lent. So if you missed Ash Wednesday, don’t worry, you can begin today!
These reflections are a result of more than 40 years of ministry as a Roman Catholic priest. Most of these years I spent in the Diocese of Charlotte which covers Western North Carolina. Now I am retired, and live in Medellín, Colombia where I continue to serve as a priest in the Archdiocese of Medellín.
Sunday I, Lent
