Today is Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. This starts our 40 day journey to culminate with Jesus Christ's passion and death. It is a journey that we now undertake.
Lent is "Springtime" to some and "The Great Fast" to others. It is all about looking forward to what is to come and putting behind us what we have done.
During it we remember that Jesus lived in the desert and fasted for 40 days in preparation for his public life. And so, it is a period of preparation for us.
The period calls for change; a change in us, in our habits. Decide what change or changes you will make; share them with the Lord. Offer them to God in exchange for all he has given you. Do it with love. Check back on them each of these six weeks. Be a better person on Easter Sunday than you are today.
🙏
