February 2020

Dear friends,
At the end of the month, we will begin a season that prepares us for the great solemnity of our Faith: Easter. Lent is a season of penance, that is, conversion. The Church invites us to perform three practices during this season: prayer, fasting and almsgiving. At the start of Lent, we ought to stop to think and ask the Lord what He wants of each one of us.
We should take a look at our time and choose a specific moment during the day to pray… and keep to it. In addition, we ought to reflect upon what we can fast from or what penance we can do. Nowadays you could certainly fast from several things you are unknowingly attached to—like your phone, messages, social networks, TV or curiosity.
Praying to the Holy Spirit for light is a big help to see clearly what the Lord asks of us. Ask your confessor or spiritual director for advice as well. Don’t let this opportunity to grow closer to the Lord pass you by. Christ must be the center of our life until we can say with St. Paul, “To me to live is Christ” (Philippians 1:21). This happens through a daily conversion and making the most of the liturgical seasons the Church offers us.
God bless,
