“The world’s thy ship and not thy home.” – St. Therese of Lisieux
Today we begin Lent with the imposition of ashes. This time is spent accompanying Jesus in the desert, preparing for his Passion, Death & Resurrection. It’s much more than just giving up chocolate; it’s about becoming the person God dreams you will be.
Today ask the Holy Spirit what good habit He wants you to form this Lent.
