Lenten Message
It has been an incredibly busy time in my work requiring an immense amount of travel. I’m behind on posting again. However, with Lent just having gotten underway I’m trying to take some time for personal reflection and to slow down a little bit.
If you’re interested in what Pope Benedict has to say about Lent you can find his message posted here.
Excerpt:
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
“They shall look on Him whom they have pierced” (Jn 19:37). This is the biblical theme that this year guides our Lenten reflection. Lent is a favourable time to learn to stay with Mary and John, the beloved disciple, close to Him who on the Cross, consummated for all mankind the sacrifice of His life (cf. Jn 19:25). With a more fervent participation let us direct our gaze, therefore, in this time of penance and prayer, at Christ crucified who, dying on Calvary, revealed fully for us the love of God.
