Happy Ash Wednesday!
It’s helpful to recall that Lent is a school of grace in two parts. Beginning with Ash Wednesday’s clarion call to prayer, fasting and almsgiving, the initiate hears a call to forgiveness, to love of enemies, to a heart renewed, to just actions and right conduct, to a life of holiness and humility. By the midpoint of Lent, we realize that we have been called to do what is impossible for us to accomplish without help.
During this Holy Season, if we let him in, the Lord will usher in a new springtime of the spirit, in our own hearts, in our families and in our communities of faith.
Will you allow the Lord to guide you this season? What do you look forward to this Lent?
Pray for the holiness of your family and pray in reparation for the sins against the Lord and our great family.
