Lent 2025

This past Wednesday, as we began Lent 2025, I read this reflection from Mathew 6:4 that started out my Lenten journey in a reflective way:

While increased fasting, prayer and almsgiving are very important, there is something more important. Most of all, God wants my love and my self-gift.

During Ash Wednesday Mass, the deacon delivered a homily where he reiterated that we should rend our hearts and not our garments. This Lenten season, ask yourself, what can I do to be closer to Jesus this Lent? What can I give up for Lent? Is it something that I will just start again afterwards? Think about what will draw you closer to Jesus.
