By Father Perry D. Leiker, pastor "The passion leads to the glory of the resurrection," Father Perry tells us in his homily for the Second Sunday of Lent. "I would say that's the focus of Lent. That's what we're being asked to prepare for. We look to the cross. And we know that in 40 days, we're going to come to the big celebration of the death and resurrection of the Lord. That's our salvation!"
