PostSubject: THE SEASON OF LENT   Fri Mar 20, 2009 9:22 pm
The Season of fasting and prayer

Lent is a time set aside by the Church for fasting and prayer, a time for personal reflection, change of attitudes and behaviors, and growth in the spiritual life.

We should immerse into the Paschal Mystery more deeply into Jesus’ suffering, death and resurrection. Let us accept the suffering and hardships of everyday life and give them the redemptive value by uniting them with the sufferings of Christ.

As we walk through the Season of Lent let us not forget to set our minds and hearts on the real meaning of this season; conversion and repentance.

Giving up things, although praise worthy, would not bring much fruit if there were no real change of heart and true repentance.

Let us keep dying to our sinful attitudes, thoughts, words and actions so that we may start rising to a new life of love, purity and grace.
