Br. Joseph Van Havermaet, OP, preaches on Romans 8 for the 2nd Sunday of Lent.  

Lent is a time for us to slow down and to really see ourselves, our sinfulness, and to work for change in our lives. But so very often our attempts to change falter and fail. We become lost in spiritual quicksand. And it is only in grabbing onto God's hand that we are able to pull ourselves out.   Only by letting God take us by the hand and trusting in him can we make our way out into that land of freedom. After all, if God is for us who can be against us?
