Reflection for the First Sunday of Lent — Dominican Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary The Liturgy throughout Lent repeats many great “r” words: “ renew in me a steadfast spirit” (Ps 51:10), “ Repent! I stand at the door and knock.” (Rev. 3:20), “A man will reap only what he sows” Gal. 7:8). For this First Sunday of Lent let us reflect on three: remember, repent, and r...
