“Pray, hope, and don’t worry. Worry is useless. God is merciful and will hear your prayer.”

The Liturgy sees this season of Lent as a gift of grace to us from God, so that our time of waiting for the Easter feast can be one filled with interior joy.  It is truly a joy to watch the Lenten grace purify our minds from all the clutter of life and rekindle in us a desire for prayer and works of charity. This season of Lent is a time for us to be reborn as real sons and daughters of our Heavenly Father.
