As we enter into the season of Lent, we are invited to embark on a journey of spiritual renewal and reflection. This is a time to pause, to examine our lives, and to discern the ways in which we can grow closer to God and to one another. Lent is a season of transformation, a time when we are called to let go of old habits and patterns that no longer serve us, and to embrace new practices that nourish our souls and deepen our faith.
In this spirit, we invite you to reflect on the following questions as you journey through Lent this year. These questions are not meant to be answered quickly or easily, but rather to prompt deep and thoughtful reflection that will help you to discern how you can live more fully into the transformative power of this season. May these questions inspire you to draw closer to God, to embrace new practices and perspectives, and to grow in love, compassion, and service to others
