Good versus evil is a continual dynamic for people of all stripes. Open your eyes and remove the veneer of distortions, deceptions and untruths saturating society. " The emperor has no clothes " accurately illuminates existing injustices. The season of lent gives rise to reflection and preparation before Easter. Jesus fasted 40 days and 40 nights and we replicate through lent Jesus sacrifice and withdrawal into the desert. We shall not live by bread alone but by the word of God. Believe in Jesus and nourish your passion to live in His light, to the glory of God.

Amen.
