Lent and Easter: A Time of Promise
The seasons of Lent and Easter are about promises. We, as God's
children, promise to be repent and reform, while God, the loving, patient,
merciful Father promises to love us and save us, despite our many broken
promises.
Lent is a time to promise ourselves, our families and our communities
that we will love a ittle (or more) harder, live a little better, try a
little more. At the same time, it is a time to remember Christ's sacrifice
that brought us the fulfilled promise of salvation and take hope and
determination from it.
This season is a great time to build a Catholic culture of the home,
and tell the world that your home is a domestic church, a space set apart
from the world.
