Lent is here— a time to prepare as we embark on a sacred season of repentance, renewal, and spiritual growth. It is a time to draw closer to God, deepen our relationship with him, and strive to become the people he calls us to be. Through prayer, fasting, and almsgiving, Lent invites us to realign our hearts with God's will. Prayer strengthens our relationship with him. Fasting reminds us of our dependency on him. And almsgiving opens our hearts to the needs of others, fostering a spirit of compassion. Slow down throughout these sacred days. Order your priorities with your spiritual life as the most important. Make this Lenten journey day by day and allow the Lord to renew and transform you with his saving grace.
