Lent reminds us that one day we will die and be judged by our merciful God. He will ask us to what extent did we help the poor, the hungry, and those in most need. Pray that our response will allow us to hear the Lordβs words: βCome, inherit the kingdom prepared for you!β
Today, I join Christians worldwide in observing Ash Wednesday. The Lenten season is a time for reflection and discernment and an opportunity to recommit ourselves to God and to one another. May we continue to keep the faith and look with hopeful hearts towards Easter.
