Lent is that moment, that time in the year, when we are asked to step back and take a look at what direction we should take in life.
Do we act in the way the world tells us to act or do we act according to principles consistent with the values of the Gospel?
It is that time to ask ourselves what is the desert that we face, what are the challenges in our lives at this time?
During these forty days of Lent, God challenges us to rediscover him in our lives. To walk with Jesus and to know that he is with us in the tough moments as well as the good moments.
May Jesus’ companionship enable us to take on the temptations in or lives; those experiences, those temptations, which can draw us away from a relationship with Christ.
Lent is a time of renewal, of conversion, of coming back
