This week, as we approach the holy season of Lent, beginning with Ash Wednesday, the words of Jesus in Luke’s Gospel provide us with a timely and profound reflection. Jesus begins by sharing a parable with His disciples, He speaks of the blind leading the blind, the importance of removing the plank from our own eye before addressing the speck in our brother’s eye, and the truth that a tree is known by its fruits. These teachings invite us into the spirit of Lent: a season of repentance, self-examination, and conversion.
