Lenten journey… a favorable time to pause, reflect and act…

Lent is a time for us to turn back to God. It is a time to reflect on the choices we make and the way we live our lives. It is a time to pray, to fast and to share what we have with others. It is also about discovering how much God matters to me, taking the opportunity of this ‘favorable time’ as we set out on this journey of Lent.

In Pope Francis’ Lenten message, in this Jubilee Year, he invites us to ‘journey together in hope’. The call to renew our faith and live differently is even stronger.

In the words of Nicolas Barré in his Maxims for All People N° 159, he writes ‘in letting go of non-essentials, ‘we become like Jesus and thus draw closer to him. We will be enriched by his abundance’.


Am I ready to make a new beginning this Lent and allow God’s love enrich my life?
What is my hope this Lent?
