Lent this year seems like it never ended. The lockdown and quarantine happened in the middle of the Lenten season, and we didn’t get to really properly celebrate Holy Week. And now, it seems like this political season that is upon us is threatening to divide us and unsettle us. We need the spiritual benefits of Lent even more. The Cathedral of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus in Knoxville is offering a “Lenten Rewind”, a sort of do-over, when we most need these spiritual opportunities. I would like for us here at the Basilica to join this great idea and movement as much as we can, and make use of the spiritual goods our Church offers us to lead and guide us and give us wisdom in these trying times. To that end, we will be offering the following, beginning September 25th and concluding on Election Day, November 3rd. (Click for a list of the recommended practices for these 40 days, including prayer, fasting, and penance, while studying the teachings of the Church to better form your conscience.) - Fr. David Carter, Pastor and Rector
