(4K) Want to Be Blessed? DO THIS ... February 22nd, 2026 Homily: 1st Sunday of Lent

In this homily, Fr. Terrance speaks about one of the 3 pillars of Lent: penance. He explains the origin of the word, why we need to do penance, and he gives examples from the lives of the saints on the types of penances that they performed. Father emphasizes, however, that interior repentance and charity are more important than external austerity. Prayer, fasting and almsgiving are signs of our internal conversion and our desire to follow Jesus more closely and imitate Him.
