A Note from Bishop Barron from the Introduction

Friends,

Welcome as we journey together toward the great feast of Easter!

For many people, the big feast of the year is Christmas, but for Christians, the truly great feast is Easter. Without Easter, without the Resurrection, we would not have the gift of salvation. Jesus had to rise from the dead, or else he would have just been another failed Messiah and his birth would be a forgotten footnote of history.

That’s why Lent is such an important time of year for us. It is the period during which we refocus on the Passion and death of Jesus so that we will be ready to embrace the good news of the Resurrection at Easter.

So, as we begin with Ash Wednesday and its reminder of repentance, let us resolve to do our best each day, knowing that it is not the destination but the journey that will ultimately transform us.

God Bless You,
Bishop Robert Barron
Bishop of the Diocese of Winona-Rochester
