The theme of this Gospel is in today’s reading: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel”(Mark 1:15). That’s what we need to do during this holy Lenten season. If you want to know how to do this, pray the first stanza of today’s psalm: “Your ways, O Lord, make known to me; teach me your paths. Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior” (Psalm 25:4-5). We are doing this so that we can be prepared to celebrate our Lord’s Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
