Lent: A Journey of Conversion and Transformation
Our Catholic tradition of Lent is a powerful time in our life of faith. We are invited to pay closer attention to those aspects of our faith and our religion that brings us closer to God: sacrifice for the sake of not letting selfishness rule our lives, almsgiving for the sake of making us more generous and less self-centered, prayer for the sake of deepening our relationship with God, and the repentance of our sins for the sake of changing what we need to change in our lives so as to become more understanding, forgiving and compassionate.
