“You who are baptized: Conquer the darkness by the light of your candles, and the silence by your hosannas!”

                                        ~St. Ephraem the Syrian

For Reflection:

This quote reminds me that my baptism is meant to be a sign to the world. In what specific way(s) can I be a light in the darkness and proclaim the glory of God in the midst of my daily duties.

PREPARING FOR FEBRUARY 10
LENT – ASH WEDNESDAY
1. CONVERSION & PENANCE
1.1 Working towards a conversion of heart, especially during this time.  God wants us to detach ourselves from the things of the earth and return to Him.  He wants us to abandon sin, which makes us grow old and die, and for us to return to the fount of life and joy.  Jesus Christ himself is the sublime grace of the whole of Lent It is He who presents himself to us in all the wonderful simplicity of the Gospel.
