“... hope does not disappoint,
because the love of God has been poured out into our hearts
through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us.” (Romans 5:5)
Lent is a penitential season -- a season when we strive to sacrifice, as we prepare to commemorate Christ's great sacrifice.
Does that mean we should be downcast for these 40 days? On the contrary! Even as we meditate upon the endless love God bears for us, and the mystery of the Resurrection, our hearts should be joyful: after all, God does love us, and Christ has risen from the dead.
In our Lenten practices, let us think of ourselves as the alm: as we give of our time, talent, and treasure, we give of ourselves, following the example of Christ. The love of God that has been poured into our hearts is the love we pour out for others.
We look ahead to greater spiritual growth, to growing more Christ-like, and to the celebration of the Resurrection. This is a season of hope!
