Lent: A Time to Pause
As we enter the season of Lent, we are invited to embark on a spiritual journey of 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.
