The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/022426.cfm Father Mark Baron, MIC, invites us to move beyond a superficial recitation of the Our Father and let this prayer become the heartbeat of our Lenten journey. He reminds us that the season of Lent began with Ash Wednesday, calling us to the three classic practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. These disciplines are not ends in themselves; they are pathways that lead us into a richer relationship with the Holy Trinity.

Father Joe talks about Lucia, who's entire life was one of suffering and offering, as she made the redemptive sacrifice that was asked of all the visionaries.  Lucia accepted God's plan for her, as we all should.

Father Joe Roesch unpacks the Angel of Fatima's directive to the visionaries to continually offer up  prayers and sacrifices to God. For us, prayers and sacrifices can have infinite value so long as they are united with love and a desire to fulfill the will of God.
