Lent is an important time of the year
to nurture our inner life.
It is the time during which we not only
prepare ourselves to celebrate the mystery of the death and resurrection
of Jesus, but also the death and resurrection that constantly takes
place within us.
Life is a continuing process of the death of the old
and the familiar, and being reborn again into a new hope, a new trust,
and a new love. The death and resurrection of Jesus is not
just an historical event that took place a long time ago, but an inner
event that takes place in our heart when we are willing to be attentive
to it....
Lent offers a beautiful opportunity to
discover the mystery of Christ within us. It is a gentle but also
demanding time. It is a time of solitude but also community, it is a
time of listening to the voice within, but also a time of paying
attention to other people's needs. It is a time to continuously make the
passage to new inner life as well as to life with those around us.
