We wish you all a prayerful and reflective Lent Period!

Let’s learn to change our attitude towards others and all of creation, turning away from the temptation to “devour” everything to satisfy our voracity and being ready to suffer for love, which can fill the emptiness of our hearts. Let us pray to renounce idolatry and the self-sufficiency of our ego, and to acknowledge our need of the Lord and his mercy. Let’s practice Alms giving, whereby we escape from the insanity of hoarding everything for ourselves in the illusory belief that we can secure a future that does not belong to us. And thus to rediscover the joy of God’s plan for creation and for each of us, which is to love him, our brothers and sisters, and the entire world, and to find in this love our true happiness.
