Bishop Burbidge's Homily for Ash Wednesday and the Lenten Season 2018

Bishop Burbidge talks about Lent as an opportunity for conversion, to leave the former self behind and to chart a new path in Christ. He also discusses the disciplines of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, and why they are important for a healthy and blessed Lent. “St. Teresa of Calcutta, when asked what has to change in times of turmoil, said three words: You and I." On prayer: “No matter how strong our desire, we cannot do it alone. Pray Psalms 18, 31 and 51, and listen to what Jesus is saying to you.” “Fasting reminds us that nothing in this world can satisfy our hunger…only in Christ do we find joy and serenity.” On almsgiving: “Jesus taught us that no gist is too small. The Lord will use it in miraculous ways.”
