Crude words, judgement of others, and malicious negativity have no place in the life of a disciple. In this homily reflection for Feb. 22, 2026, the First Sunday of Lent, Archbishop Weisenburger invites us to consider fasting from language that harms our relationship with God and our neighbors. In doing so, we allow Christ to shape our hearts more closely to His own.
