Lent has begun! I’m
always amazed after Christmas at how far away Lent seems to be and then just
like that…it’s Ash Wednesday and Lent is in full swing!
What are you doing for Lent this year? Have you even really thought about how
important the Lenten season can be in our lives?
If you do nothing else during this Lenten season, I
recommend that you read Pope Francis’ Lenten Message for 2015. It can be accessed by clicking here.
The theme of the Papal Message this year is “Make your
hearts firm.” Pope Francis tells the
world that “Lent is a time of renewal for the whole Church.” And above all it is a “time of grace.” He goes on to say, “Lent is a favorable time
for letting Christ serve us so that we in turn may become more like him.”
Happy Lent!
