ON THE COVER: Bronze crucifix and Rose window by John Collier (www.hillstream.com), commissioned by St. Bartholomew's Catholic Church, Wayzata, Minn.

From Inside ML: Lent comes upon us with a sort of troubled grace. Despite our best intentions, we wander from what God desires for us. This season draws from us renewed commitment to the things that are of God. We pray for the courage to turn away from what tempts us toward the darkness, and we pray in solidarity with those experiencing the light that is Christ for the first time. Even as we do, we recognize that this is a journey we have traveled before; this threshold is not new. (More)
