Takeaways:

• Saint Jerome taught that responding to someone’s wrongdoing with kindness can soften their heart, burn away their anger, and lead them to repentance.

• When someone annoys you...like cutting you off in traffic...try praying for them instead of reacting in anger.

Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

Kick off your day with 5 minutes of faith!

Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation

New Testament:

• Luke 5:12-16

Old Testament:

• Leviticus 13:3 & 13:46

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

Takeaways:

• If sin or the enemy has made you feel unworthy or distant from God, remember this: Jesus knows your struggle and loves you. He went to the Cross, died, and rose again to save you.

• In the Sacrament of Reconciliation, you can come to Jesus just like the leper who said, “Lord, if you will, you can make me clean.” Jesus wants to forgive and restore you.

• When we go to confession, we receive healing and mercy so we can go back into the world and share God’s love with others.

Spiritual Arms: Five Minutes for the Battle

Kick off your day with 5 minutes of faith!

Revised Standard Version (RSV) translation

New Testament:

• Luke 4:1-13

• 1 John 2:16

• Matthew 6:18

Old Testament:

• Genesis 3:1-6

Catechism of the Catholic Church:

• Paragraph 2514-2515

Takeaways:

• Lent reminds us to step back, spend time with Jesus, and remember that He suffered and died for us out of love.

• During Lent, the Church encourages prayer, fasting, and almsgiving to help us resist temptation and grow closer to God; practical ways to do this are to pray more (i.e. reading the Bible), fast from things you enjoy (i.e. favorite foods, your phone), and give to those in need.

• Do these things quietly out of love for God — not for recognition — just as the Gospel of Matthew (6:18) reminds us that God sees what we do in secret, and rewards us.
