LENT: THE SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE: CATHOLIC SUNDAY SCRIPTURE REFLECTIONS: 2ND SUNDAY OF LENT, CYCLE B, 2021
The spirit of Lent is one of sacrifice. A sacrifice that leads to transformation and renewal. A sacrifice of Lent is the Easter joy of the resurrection. Hence, Lent invites us to renounce something precious in us: ego, desire or things. It is a time of penitential sacrifice to give up something we hold dear for the sake of the gospel.
