At the end of February my husband and I moved into our new home.
My favorite room in this apartment is the family room because it has so much natural light… 11 windows and a large glass door to the backyard. From the moment we walk through the front door it feels like light just bursts inside. There’s even a skylight in the kitchen. Light is everywhere and it makes the place feel a lot more like home.

In the midst of completing our move and preparing for the start of Lent, Isaiah 9:1-2 came to mind:
My friend and coworker, David McHugh (Noelle Garcia’s husband) made this video for our parish to help us reflect on how Confession helps us to Let the Light In:
I’ve said before that Lent is not my favorite and yet I realize that this is the time of year where the Holy Spirit really does a number on my heart if I’m open to it. It’s a time of recognizing my weaknesses, but also allowing Christ to transform those things into strengths. I feel like this year in particular Christ is asking me to let the Light in, so He can make me who I am called to be. If I can open up my heart even just a tiny bit more, I think I can come to realize just how much I need Christ in my life and how much I want Him to be there.
When the Light of Christ bursts into our hearts, we realize that it is beautiful. It is welcoming and it is merciful. It is where our hearts are at home.
