Atonement Friars
Fr. Bob's Weekly Reflections

Fr. Bob's Weekly Reflections
Two men are facing each other. One is only 10 hours away from death; the other just told a group gathered around a fire that he did not know the man who was going to His death.

Fr. Bob’s Homily – First Sunday in Lent

Atonement Friars
Fr. Bob's Weekly Reflections
For many of us, Lent is the season of gloom and giving up, of ashes and lashes. When it is gray outside, and purple inside.
