With Ash Wednesday just around the corner I find myself reflecting on the season of Lent.
Here are a few ideas to ponder in relation to our Spiritual Growth and the opportunity that Lent provides. These ideas come from The New Handbook of The Christian Year...
Lent is a time for evangelism and for true conversion - a time for growing through repentance, fellowship, prayer, fasting and concentration of baptismal covenant...
(P.106)
Ash Wednesday is a particular time for new beginnings in the faith, a time for returning to the Lord. On this day we recall our mortality and wait upon the Lord for a renewing spirit. This is a time for putting aside the sins and failures of the past in the light of who we are yet to become by the grace of God...(p.106)
These are important points to ponder at this time of year.
