Lent is the forty day process of rending our hearts, filling the broken places with God’s love, and fearlessly loving as Christ loved. And the Church, as the Body of Christ, must serve as an icon of that heart.
Through the three pillars of Lent – fasting (giving up), almsgiving (giving to others) and prayer, we endeavor to develop a closer relationship to God.
We have prepared a Lent Calendar to help you count your blessings.
“Count it all joy, my brethren, when you meet various trials, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.”
Counting our blessings is so important in our daily life, and it can change our mood and our attitude towards our world.
By giving up something, it’s a way of positively turning our life back toward what God wants for us.
