The Lenten season is a time when Catholics of all ages are invited to ponder the life and death of Christ through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Whether it be by reading Scripture each day, fasting from worldly pleasures or giving of one's time to those in need, let us spend these 40 days of Lent to configure our hearts to Christ and His Pascal Mystery.
"Lent stimulates us to let the Word of God penetrate our life and in this way to know the fundamental truth: who we are, where we come from, where we must go, what path we must take in life." Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI
