And so ends the beginning of the first day of Lent.
It is time for the Church and Her faithful to be repentant and renewed in preparation for the climax of The Greatest Story Ever Told.
Many have received their ashen cross upon their forehead.
Many will make the extra effort of prayer, almsgiving, and fasting.
This annual forty day retreat is a sign the seed must die before it can be fruitful.
The Holy Spirit is our Retreat Master Who leads us into the core of our being, our heart, our desert.
There the Word will speak again of the Father's love.
There the call to conversion will be heard.
There will the task of obedience be undertaken.
May this be a profitable time for your soul.
