With the Archbishop’s blessing, Helen and I are spending Lent building a relationship built on love--but without physical intimacy.

And yes, it’s as hard as it sounds.

But this penitential season, I have other work to do. I need to rebuild my relationship with the families of St. Clare’s after neglecting my duties as their shepherd. I must confess my sins to them, and ask their forgiveness.

With these two tasks, I expected this Lent to be the longest of my life.

But I didn’t expect to be fighting to stay out of prison.
