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.

Today Jesus reminds us of the importance of the persistence of prayer.
