Hey everybody, this is Mary Gelfoyle with Acts 29. This is a simple bonus feature from our team,

where Father John unpacks for us his Tuesday homilies we lead into Lent. Enjoy, pray with it,

take it to heart. May you have a great Lent. God bless everybody. It is February 25th. It is

Fat Tuesday. We're about, we're on the cusp of ash wednesday

and we were here at x29 just had daily mass a few moments ago and um we were going to record our you

were born for this podcast which hopefully some of you are familiar with um but before we before we do that

we decided you know what uh what Father John shared at Mass today,

we think would be so beneficial for anyone who can listen.

I was just blessed by it, Mary, I know you were.

Yeah, we talked about it afterwards.

It was an anointed word for all of us.

And so because the Lord spoke so deeply to us, we felt like the Lord was inviting us to share what Father John shared with us in the chapel.

Yeah, so Father, would you like to tell us the great word you just gave at Mass?

Well, I don't know if it was a great word or not, but I did feel like it was something that the Lord inspired in me to reflect on.

So, you know, everybody, when you get to the season of Lent, you're thinking about,

what am I going to do?

And so it's usually, you know, boils down to what am I going to give up?

How much weight am I going to lose?

Yeah, which is really what people are thinking.

So for myself, anyway, I've been praying with two, I use two books often.

One, we use all the time for our work here. That's Pat

Lanchone's The Advantage, which, you know, is just kind of the Bible on organizational health.
