Truth of the Spirit welcomes Msgr. David LeSieur and Patti Brunner for \u201cAsh Wednesday & Lent\u2014Season of Hope Year A. Listen as they discuss the Church\u2019s directive on fasting during Lent and the benefit available by fasting. The Gospel of Lent gives promise and hope to draw upon when daily lives seem \u201closs\u201d. Paul\u2019s writings show that as sinners you would receive the judgement accorded by the law and thus condemnation; Jesus came to stand-in for you. He accepted your sin to take upon himself the sins\u2014like the scapegoat and sacrifice\u2014thus bringing freedom. He who knew no sin became sin, that in his righteousness you might be saved. Season of Hope ties the progression of salvation in history. Before the earth was created the plan of your salvation was in the \u201cheart\u201d and \u201ceye\u201d of God, our Father. Fasting can prepare the heart to receive the fullness of the gift of salvation. [Please note that this is an audio presentation. This episode was originally broadcast on KDUA radio.]
