Lent asks us to change our lives through fasting, prayer and acts of charity. Lent is about changing the world through these actions but first and foremost it is about changing ourselves, our hearts. Who am I? What have I become? Am I lost in a wilderness of my own making like the people of Israel in the desert refusing to listen to the words of God. Lent asks me to look at my life and to change for the better, for a future that sometimes seems impossible because of the mess I have made. In our world of today Lent is a powerful reminder that despite all the hurt, pain, conflict, injustice, war, scepticism about people and institutions, politics, individualism, failure to see the dignity of human life in the unborn and the dying, in the migrant and in each other, brokenness and division in families and nations, that we can change by turning away from sin and believing in the Good News of the Gospel. Life and love will overcome death and decay. As we begin our 40 days we put crosses on our foreheads and we pray We adore thee O Christ and we praise thee because by thy Holy Cross you have redeemed the world??
