Free and open to the public.
After Christ is baptized by John the Baptist, the Holy Spirit descends upon him in the form of a dove and God says, "This is my beloved Son with whom I am well pleased" (Matthew 3:17). Immediately afterward, this same Spirit leads Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Join us for four Lenten meditations that will help us to go into the desert with Jesus, to fast and pray and to confront our demons, armed with the Holy Spirit and the word of God.
Please join us for Session Three of our four part Lenten series.
The Wings of Prayer: Fasting and Giving with Carly McShane
Two years ago, in his Ash Wednesday homily Pope Francis said, "Lent is a time of grace that liberates the heart from vanity...It is a time of healing from addictions that seduce us. It is a time to fix our gaze on what abides." In this reflection, Carly McShane will examine how the practices of fasting and almsgiving build in us a greater freedom, help us to return to the Lord, and to be open to His love and mercy.
