Lent is our 40 day spiritual retreat to repent from sin, repair our relationship with Christ and open ourselves more fully to God's love and mercy.
The Church instructs us to FAST (give up), GIVE ALMS (give to others) and PRAY during Lent to rededicate our lives and our journey to God.
Let us dedicate our Lenten retreat and sacrifices to allowing God to move more deeply in our lives so that we are not the same persons on Easter Sunday as we are today.
