This Lent, don't just count your sacrifices – discover uncountable greatness!

Deacon Jordan Danielson challenges us to go beyond the world's definition of success and embrace the true greatness God offers, inspired by His promise to Abraham (descendants as numerous as the stars!). He explores how the simple practices of Lent – fasting, prayer, and almsgiving – can free us from distractions and open our hearts to a deeper, more authentic relationship with Christ. It's a call to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to make this Lent a journey of genuine transformation.

This Lent, Fr. Tom Loomis isn't aiming for perfect – and he suggests maybe we shouldn't either! In this homily, he gets real about temptation (featuring a very relatable donut story!), and how facing our struggles, just like Jesus did in the desert (Luke 4:1-13), can actually bring us closer to God. He talks about the lure of appetite, power, and letting the world define us, instead of our faith.

Fr. Tom also throws out a great question for the St. Felix community: What does that towering church steeple really say about who we are? How can we help each other out, be honest about our slip-ups, and live this Lent together? It's a call to be vulnerable, real, and to find Jesus in the midst of it all.

Recorded live at St. Felix Catholic Church in Wabasha, Minnesota.

Father Tom Loomis delivers a powerful Ash Wednesday homily, challenging us to avoid a "lazy Lent." He encourages us to go beyond outward rituals and to embrace prayer, fasting, and almsgiving as paths to deeper conversion and a more authentic relationship with Christ. Drawing from the day's readings, he invites us to examine our hearts and to "return to the Lord with our whole hearts."
