Some things we want people to remember; others we wish they would forget. The same is true in our relationship with our God. The psalmist prayed (Psalm 25), “Remember, O Lord, your great mercy and love. . . Remember not the sins of my youth. . . According to your love remember me, for you are good.” Reminiscere (ray-mi-ni-sir-ay, “remember”), the Second Sunday in Lent, focuses on the truth that the Lord, in Jesus, has promised to do just that. His love will sustain us; his love will forgive us when we fall.
