In this week's episode, we continue our Lenten study on the book “A Time of Renewal” and focus on the theme of true self-denial. We reflect on the importance of recognizing our need for God’s love and allowing ourselves to be transformed by His grace. We also share personal experiences and insights on repentance, amendment, and trusting in God’s plan especially when the desires of our heart are not being fulfilled. We end by discussing the joys that can come from Lent when approached with a tender, sensitive, and alert heart.

Quotes to Ponder:
The Church is a very vibrant Mother, and she shows us how happy she is about Lent. All through her liturgy there is this mood: something wonderful can happen. All of her prayers and directives are saying, “Please let it happen. Please allow it to happen.”
(Mother Mary Francis P.C.C. A Time of Renewal. Kindle Edition. Page 37)
We are called to a glorious festival of love—to be spiritually dizzied with the fact that this is how much God has loved us. Surely we shall all look at the crucifix with a new vision, a deepened understanding that he really.
(Mother Mary Francis P.C.C. A Time of Renewal. Kindle Edition. Page 37)
Scripture for Lectio:
“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”” (Mark 1:14-15)
