This is the last Sunday in Ordinary Time before we begin the holy season of Lent this upcoming week on Ash Wednesday. Even though Ash Wednesday is not a holy day of obligation, it is a day when our Masses our packed with people. Getting the smudge of ash on our foreheads on Ash Wednesday has great symbolism for the Catholic faithful. Every year I look forward to the holy season of Lent as a time to renew my faith and to prepare in a meaningful way for Easter and the paschal mysteries. I invite all of you to join us this Wednesday for the start of this holy time. Father Lincoln.
This is a blog of homilies, reflections, and photos from a Roman Catholic priest serving in the Diocese of Jackson in the state of Mississippi. Currently, I am the pastor of Holy Savior in Clinton and Immaculate Conception in Raymond. I have served as Vicar General of the Diocese since July 2019. I also serve as Catholic chaplain in the federal prison in Yazoo City and the state prison in Pearl.
