S.I.N.: A Reflection on the Readings for the First Sunday in Lent.
Friday, 20 February, 2026
This video reflects on the First Sunday in Lent's readings, focusing on the concept of sin (0:00).The speaker explains how sin:Darkens our intellect (0:18), making it difficult to make right choices and leading to rationalization (0:39).Weakens our will (1:03), allowing passions and desires to overpower intellect and lead to bad choices (1:31).Results from our concupiscent nature due to original sin (1:51).The speaker introduces "S.I.N." as a way to combat sin:S - Sacrifice (2:01): Giving up self-will to align with God's will, which helps temper disordered passions and strengthens our relationship with God (2:08). Sin, especially mortal sin, can sever this relationship (2:30).I - Intentional (3:19): Reflecting on daily actions and identifying moments where one didn't embody Christian values, then striving to be more like Jesus (3:23).N - Need Jesus (4:08): Emphasizing that Jesus is our ultimate necessity and we should cling to him, especially when tempted or in challenging situations (4:13).The video concludes by encouraging viewers to consider what sins are hindering their relationship with God and how they can apply S.I.N. to strengthen it (4:59).
