This homily gently reminds us that Lent is a time to let God work on the broken places in our hearts. Through the story of Kevin Matthews and the rescued Broken Mary statue, we see how God can turn what feels damaged or forgotten into something beautiful. We’re encouraged to look honestly at hidden struggles — especially pride and judgment — and invite God to heal them. Echoing the Lenten call of Pope Leo XIV, the message is simple: slow down, listen to the Lord, and let Him guide your renewal.
