CONQUERING BY THE WORD
In this First Sunday of Lent reflection, Fr. Kingsley Chukwunonso Ogbu, SMMM reminds us that victory over temptation comes through the Word of God. Just as Jesus conquered the devil in the wilderness by proclaiming Scripture, we too are called to know, believe, and speak God’s Word in our trials. When we stand firmly on the Word, we overcome; when we doubt it, we fall. Lent is our season to return to Scripture and conquer by the Word.
“Return to Me with All Your Heart” - Beginning Lent the Right Way
Ash Wednesday opens the sacred season of Lent - a time the Church gives us not to feel guilty, but to come home. Through the imposition of ashes and the words, “Repent and believe in the Gospel,” we are reminded of our mortality and of God’s mercy. Today’s readings call us to sincere conversion - not external religion, but a change of heart expressed through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This homily invites the faithful to begin Lent seriously, honestly, and hopefully, in full communion with the tradition of the Church.
Adopt Rev Fr McGlade’s Missionary Legacy for Addressing Contemporary Challenges – Prof Agbedo charges Enugu-Ezike Clergy, Laity
As the insidious wave of Yahoo Plus rituals sweeps through Elugwu-Ezike, Fr. McGlade would have become a voice of moral clarity. His sermons would have dissected the moral implications of such practices, urging the youth to resist the allure of quick wealth tainted with spiritual compromise.
