For 16 Mar 2026: "I am making new heavens and a new earth."
Drawing from the Prophet Isaiah, Fr. Brendan challenges us to look beyond the current struggles of our world—prejudice, racism, poverty, and oppression—and see with the eyes of God. We are called not just to observe this new vision, but to be active participants in creating a world where there is no more weeping and where every person is recognized as a sister or brother.
Are you willing to be an ambassador of hope? Join us in this call to action.
**Key Takeaways:**
* **The Prophetic Vision:** Understanding Isaiah's promise of a world without pain or plight.
* **Social Justice in Lent:** Addressing the reality of racism and inequality during our spiritual journey.
* **Seeing Differently:** Moving from seeing "others" to seeing "sisters and brothers."
