Preached on March 21, 2025 at Kintore college in Toronto. What is the nature of penance and mortification during lent?
This is the most important of penance:To prepare the way so that Christ might actually live in us.
Augustine would say: A vessel must be empty if it is to be filled, and if we are to be filled with the life of God we must be utterly empty of self.
