The Opportunity of Lent

The season of Lent is the period from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. It is a time of preparation for the feast of Easter Day, when we celebrate Christ's resurrection from death on the cross.

 During this time of preparation, we have the opportunity as individuals and as a community to grow closer to God. To become more aware of our relationship with Him and his active presence in our lives. Remembering that he is with us always but often our lives are so busy we tend to forget. The season of Lent is both an opportunity and a challenge to focus on strengthening that relationship with God. To love Him with all our heart, with all our soul and with all our mind.
