Renewing the Covenant with God

Monsignor Michael Billian: This Lent, you and I are called to renew the covenant, to renew the relationship we have with God – not just the deal, not just the word, the life-giving relationship that we share with one another.

Gospel Mark 1:12-15
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert,
and he remained in the desert for forty days,
tempted by Satan.
He was among wild beasts,
and the angels ministered to him.

After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
“This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel.”
