Greetings and blessings on this Ash Wednesday, the beginning of the season of Lent.

Thanks for joining me on this journey through the seven deadly sins and their corresponding virtues.

Over these seven reflections, we will be looking at each of them, one per week. Obviously much can be shared about each of them, but with the limited time for these reflections, I can only touch the surface. But hopefully we will all receive something from the Lord to think and pray about in our own lives.
