For the second in our series of Friday Lenten Reflections with the bishops of the Archdiocese of New York, Bishop Peter Byrne, Episcopal Vicar for Staten Island, says like people train for sports, during Lent we train and prepare our soul for eternity.

These reflections are published each Friday during Lent.

Archbishop Paul S. Coakley, president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops, sent a letter to leaders of the Jewish community in the United States, expressing the Catholic Church’s prayerful solidarity with the Jewish community.
