Lent is a time to recommit ourselves to God. We begin by taking an honest look at ourselves. Then we listen to Scripture and pray regularly in the hope of discovering more deeply who God is and what God requires of us. Finally, we commit ourselves anew to doing what God asks. Let's make this Lent a journey in that direction. |
