As we reflect on these examples during Lent, we are reminded of our call to missionary work. We are encouraged to share the Good News and bear witness to that which anchors us in love, even when confronted with suffering. Let us draw inspiration from Christ’s unrelenting love and Saint Catherine’s bravery, striving to be beacons of light in a world yearning for hope.
