Reflection
Isaiah exhorts us to purify our hearts and turn away from evil, promising that God will bless those who repent. In the Gospel, Jesus denounces the hypocrisy of those who preach but do not practice what they teach. This Lent is a time to align our words and actions, seeking a genuine and profound conversion. Let us be humble, knowing that whoever exalts themselves will be humbled, and whoever humbles themselves will be exalted.
