The meaning of the word sacrifice is to “make holy.” This Lent we are offered the opportunity to let go of our control and accept the difficulties and sufferings that come to us with grace.
Today, Fr Mark-Mary invites us to let go and allow this Lent to fuel our growth in interior freedom and sacrificing control.
Meet Fr. Mark-Mary
Father Mark-Mary was ordained as a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal (CFR) in 2018 and lives at a friary in the Bronx.
The mission of the CFRs is to wholeheartedly embrace Jesus through fidelity to the Church and her Sacraments. Paired with their commitment to prayer, contemplation, and study of Sacred Scripture, the CFRs serve those around them, especially the poor, in the footsteps of Christ.
Discover beautiful music from the CFRs and Fr. Mark-Mary’s book Habits for Holiness: Small Steps for Spiritual Progress, both available from Ascension.
