Reminiscere: The Second Sunday in Lent

The Second Sunday in Lent, known as Reminiscere, derives its name from the opening words of the Introit for the day: Reminiscere miserationum tuarum, Domine—“Remember, O Lord, Your tender mercies” (Psalm 25:6). This Sunday continues the penitential journey of Lent, calling the faithful to perseverance in prayer, repentance, and trust in God's steadfast mercy. It reminds the Church that, though the path of faith is often marked by trials and suffering, God never forgets His people.
