Lizzy’s Latest – Father’s Day Edition

Lizzy’s Latest Note:  This post was supposed to go live on Sunday, but I had ongoing internet issues.  Comcast is the WORST!  Absolutely unreliable and I plan to cancel my service soon.  As such, my Father’s Day post is a bit belated.

St. Ignatius Church – Confessions

The religious season of Lent for Roman Catholics is the period between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday.  It symbolizes the 40 days Jesus spent in the desert as Satan unsuccessfully tempted Him to forsake God.  It is a beautiful story of humility and discipline.  It is an encouraging story of the perseverance of good when confronted with evil.  It is why Lent is a time of abstinence, repentance, and introspection.
