February 23, 2023, Holy Rosary (Luminous Mysteries)

Friends of the Rosary:

Today, Thursday after Ash Wednesday, at the beginning penitential season that precedes Easter, we reflect upon the Forty Days of Christ in the desert.

Lent is a pilgrimage. It’s a pilgrimage of conversion through repentance and the forgiveness of sins.

The baptized require liberation from sin: from the bad habits that enslave us and impede our friendship with Christ.

We have to undergo a “second baptism,” and thus meet once again the mysteries of God’s mercy and love.
