Catholic Church
You Are the Light of the World
Introduction to the Liturgy of the Day
During the long winter we become keenly aware of the value of sunshine. The sun rises later in the morning and sets earlier in the afternoon; quite often it’s gray and cloudy all day. Today we hear Jesus tell his disciples that they are to shine their light for all to see, as a lamp on a lampstand does.
This winter, may we spread Christ’s light to the world, bringing joy and life to darkness and gloom.

Lent
Begins February 18, 2026
Lent is the 40-day season of preparation for Easter in the Catholic Church, beginning on Ash Wednesday and ending before the Easter Triduum.
It recalls Jesus’ 40 days of fasting and temptation in the desert. Catholics focus on three main practices:
Prayer — growing closer to God
Fasting — self-denial and discipline (especially on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday)
Almsgiving — acts of charity and generosity
The deeper purpose is conversion of heart, repentance from sin, and spiritual renewal in preparation for celebrating Christ’s Resurrection.
