RETURNING TO THE LORD WITH OUR HEARTS IN THE SEASON OF GRACE

Ash Wednesday is a privileged time of interior pilgrimage towards God who is the fount of love and mercy, a pilgrimage in which He himself accompanies us, sustaining us on our way towards the intense joy of Easter. This day marks the beginning of the Church’s observance of the Lenten season—six weeks that are set apart for the purpose of drawing closer to God and seeking him with greater intensity. Come join us to engaging in prayer and reflection to become more finely attuned to our longing for God so we can seek him with all our hearts. Begin our Lenten journey by saying something honest to God and reflecting on what you might “give up” or rearrange in order to create more space and passion for this most important relationship.
