Today, the first Sunday of Lent, we are given an opportunity to heed Christ's call for conversion. In Luke's gospel today, Jesus emerged out of the water - freshly baptized, called, named, claimed, and set apart - and went out into the desert to gain clarity as to what his mission was to be about.
Lent is an occasion for us to reflect on our mission as a disciple of Christ during these modern times. Let us be aware of the many instances where God calls us to be a reflection of His great love and mercy to others. May the mark of the cross that we received on Ash Wednesday remind us of our baptismal promises and our commitment to the Gospel.
