‘’The Vocation of Abraham and The Vocation of the Christian’’ On this second Sunday of Lent we will see how the life of a Christian could be compared to a journey to be taken in the company of the Master. Abraham was the first man to start off on this journey in answer to a call from God (first reading). Like him every catechumen is invited to leave his/her ‘’country’’. The Gospel shows us only the light that the catechumen must follow during his/her journey.

Lent has only just begun and the catechumen is invited to open his/her ears to listen to what the Master is about to tell us.
