Find Consolation in the Face of Christ

In this brief encouragement from Fr. Edmund recognizes how difficult fasting can be, and how tempted we may feel to cut corners on our Lenten observances. Against these temptations, he reminds us, we must turn again and again to the holy face of Christ, Who also faced temptation, and to his Sacred Heart, which has such great love for us. There we will find the strength to continue moving forward.
