I attended a Franciscan mass on Sunday (pictured). The service was held in several languages, mostly African, with African drums and hearty singing. The priest who delivered the homily said: "If you don't treat Lent seriously, you'll stay in the grave. You won't rise with Christ." I said to another priest: "Didn't that seem to you like salvation by works?" He replied: "That message would have been more appropriate before Lent, not at the end of it."
