Lent is a period of reflection and reconciliation, characterised by fasting and penance. Lent marks the passion and suffering of Jesus Christ to redeem mankind. During the period of Lent we humble ourselves before God in prayer Lenten period comprises of The three main practices: PRAYER, ABSTINENCE & ALMSGIVING/Charity Prayer during Lent focuses on repentance, and receiving God’s mercy, forgiveness and love.

This verse reminds us that the foundation of our faith is not human effort, but divine grace: a grace so immense that God was willing to offer His only Son for our salvation. At the core of this verse is love: an unconditional, sacrificial love that extends to all humanity. During Lent, we are invited to meditate on this love, recognizing that it is not earned but freely given. Despite our flaws, sins, and weaknesses, God’s love remains steadfast. Jesus’ journey to the cross is the ultimate demonstration of divine generosity. God did not withhold His most precious gift but surrendered Jesus to a world that would reject Him. As we fast, pray, and make sacrifices during Lent, we are called to imitate this self-giving love by offering ourselves in service to others. Lent challenges us to examine our faith. Do we truly trust in Christ? Do we surrender our worries, burdens, and sins to Him? This season is a call to deeper belief, a belief that transforms our hearts and leads us to eternal life. As we journey through Lent, let the scripture for today be a reminder of the boundless love that redeems us. Let it inspire gratitude, repentance, and a renewed commitment to live as Christ’s disciples, embracing the hope of everlasting life. Prayer Merciful Father, You call us to return to You with all our hearts. Create in us clean hearts, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within us. May our repentance be true, not just in words, but in the depths of our souls. Forgive us, Lord, and pour out Your blessings upon us. Unite us as a community of faith, that our turning back to You may bring healing to our lives and to the world around us. Restore what is broken in our hearts, our homes, and our relationships. Bring healing to the sick, comfort to the sorrowful, and strength to those who are weary. Open our hearts to acts of kindness and generosity. May our fasting be accompanied by love, our prayers by compassion, and our sacrifices by generosity toward those in need. Help us to see Christ in the poor, the lonely, and the suffering, and to give without counting the cost. May our hands be open to lift others, and our hearts be willing to serve. We place our intentions before You, trusting in Your boundless mercy. Heal us, restore us, and lead us ever closer to You. Amen.
