Lent - A Reflection
Lent is always an opportunity for us to growin our awareness ofGod’s loving
presence in our lives And as Pope Francis said last week,“Jesus is not a figure
from the past: he continuesnowand always to light the way for us.”On Ash
Wednesday large numbers ofpeople participate in the ceremony ofthe
distribution of ashes. Asheswere an ancient symbol ofrepentance; they
remind us of our mortality.
When we are marked with blessed ashes which symbolizes that we belong to
Jesus Christ, who died on a Cross,we acknowledge our need to change
ourselves at a deeper level and our willingness to enter into Lent as a time
during which we strive towards an inner conversion ofheart. Pope Francis
concludes his message for Lent by praying that during Lent, each person
receive” a heart which is firm and merciful, attentive and generous,
a heart which is not closed”
