First Monday In Lent

We often think Lent is just about us – our prayers, our sacrifices, our own spiritual growth. But if we really want to understand Lent, we need to look beyond ourselves. Imagine God saying, “Enjoy your blessings, but make sure everyone has enough. Pray with passion, but let your prayers be for your neighbor’s needs. Dive into scripture, but use that knowledge to build a better community.” Lent isn’t just about becoming a better version of ourselves; it’s about becoming a better servant to those around us, reflecting God’s love in tangible ways.

Lent  is not about choosing between personal growth and neighborly love; it’s about recognizing their interconnectedness.
