This Lenten season invites us to turn away from sin and embrace the gospel through action and prayer. As we reflect on the message and significance of Ash Wednesday, we are called to recognize the signs of God’s grace and blessing in our lives. Each week of Lent presents us with opportunities to grow in faith, extend kindness, and uplift one another. From giving up complaints to practicing gratitude, let us deepen our connection with God and each other, making a positive impact in the lives of those around us.
