oin us on The Lenten Path as Angie reflects on the gift of mercy and the challenge of holding onto hope. Inspired by Romans 5:5-8, she reminds us that “hope does not disappoint” because God’s love is poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. As the Church prepares those entering the faith through OCIA, Angie emphasizes that baptism is the beginning of transformation for all of us, calling us to live with greater faith and mercy.

Too often, we judge quickly and withhold compassion—from strangers, loved ones, or those whose struggles we don’t understand. Yet, if Christ is always ready to love and forgive us, how can we not extend that same mercy? Angie challenges us to let go of judgment, embrace hope, and reflect God’s love in our daily lives.
