What do you do with silence?

Homily for the First Sunday of Lent, Year A
Genesis 2.7-9; 3.1-7 Psalm 51 Romans 5.12-19 Matthew 4.1-11

There’s a lot that can happen in the short moment of silence at the beginning of Mass. If we know what it’s about – if we’re ready for it – and if we’ve gotten in the habit of reflecting on our personal relationship with God and our relationships with other people – if we use that silence to remember God’s love and mercy for us, always, then we’ll be in good shape spiritually for the rest of the Mass.
