On Ash Wednesday we begin our Lenten Journey when we place the ashes on our foreheads. During the season of Lent we take stock of where we are in our lives and where we really need to be as people who believe in God. As we continue our Faith journey during the 40 days of Lent we are invited to recommit ourselves fully to God and his ways remembering that god’s ways are not our ways. Jesus preaches “Metanoia” that is Repentance or Coming back. Coming back to God and returning to the Church requires change of heart, mind and Spirit. The six weeks of Lent will be a time of refreshment, a time of repentance and also a time of renewal that prepare us for Holy Week and Easter. Let us ask ourselves whether we are open to be really changed as gods people so we will be able to enter more fully into the great ceremonies of Holy Week and Easter.
