The Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception present "Journey Through Lent" with Fr. Anthony Gramlich, MIC. In this series, Fr. Anthony will help us to dive deeper into the holy penitential season of Lent, preparing ourselves for Our Lord's Resurrection on Easter Sunday. Join Fr. Anthony, as he may help to answer some of the burning questions you may have regarding this season, helping you to make this Lenten season more fruitful and spiritually rewarding!

Fr. Anthony reflects on Mark 1:40-42, where Jesus heals a leper with a simple yet powerful response: "I do choose. Be made clean." No matter how broken or burdened by sin we may feel, Christ is always ready to heal us. Learn how to approach Him with trust and receive the cleansing mercy He longs to give.

Father Anthony reflects on the Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector, showing how authentic humility draws God’s mercy like a magnet. He reveals how self-righteousness blinds the heart, while honest repentance opens it wide to grace. In this simple but piercing story, we learn that true discipleship begins not with boasting in our virtue, but with trusting in God’s compassion—where the lowly are lifted and sinners go home justified.
