In this week's Gospel, we hear God saying to us, “This is my beloved son. Listen to him.” One of the most important things we will ever do in this life is to listen to Jesus.

During Lent, we attempt to grow closer to Jesus, by making sacrifices, giving additional offerings to the poor, and studying scripture to better understand the meaning of God’s words.

Our first reading has the story of the new covenant from God. If you are like me, you have probably heard this story many times. Hearing it again today, what do you focus on most?
