40 yearsWe often forget that it was during this time in the desert that God actually travelled, accompanied, protected and provided daily for the people of Israel. It was in the silence of the wilderness that the people had experienced that their God was very close to them.
Likewise, for us the 40 days of Lent should not be a time of gloom or reluctant sacrifice and penance. Rather, Lent is a time of grace for us to leave the busy world behind and retreat into the quiet “desert of prayer”. This is to enable us to encounter and experience our Lord who is indeed, very near to us in our lives each day.
It is good to remind ourselves that Lent is more than observing a period of penance which is to be endured with fasting, abstinence and sacrifices. Lent is our new springtime, a new fresh beginning of hope. Lent is the time of spiritual renewal and grace to live our life with purpose and joy because our Lord is very near to us.• As you fast and pray, may you meet the Lord who is very near to you.• Come to daily Mass to listen and receive God’s Word and Communion.
