- REFLECTION AS WE BEGIN OUR LENTEN JOURNEY:As lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus. “Repent and believe” Jesus tells us. What are we to repent? Our indifference, our hardness of hearts. What are we to believe? Remember Jesus knows your weakness. He wants only your love, wants only the chance to love you. (Mother Theresa)
