The first Sunday in Lent reminds us that life carries temptation, challenge, and vulnerability. Just as Jesus faces the wilderness, we recognize that moral tension is part of human experience, and that we are not alone in confronting it. Moral strain can arise not only from our own actions but also from the choices and behaviors of others that conflict with our values or cause harm. This week encourages noticing these shared burdens and the ways we carry them together.
