LENTEN REFLECTION 2023|| Day 22 - Saturday in the third week of Lent|| Catholic prayers Lent is a period of reflection and reconciliation, characterised by fasting and penance. Lenten period marks the passion and suffering of Jesus Christ to redeem mankind. Ash Wednesday is the first day of Lent or the Lenten season. It is preceded by Shrove Tuesday. Lent is the six weeks or 40days of penitence before Easter (Excluding Sundays, adding Sundays means 46 days before Easter) 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. Fasting, is a form of sacrifice and mortification, you give up something you love or find pleasure in, and also food or meat, or a favourite activity and spend more time connecting with God. ALMSGIVING is a way to respond to God’s grace, generosity and love, it is encouraged to spend the money meant for the meal given up or the luxury given up, on alms and charity example, you can spend time volunteering or donate money to a cause.

May God hear your prayers for this season and beyond == At once the Spirit sent him out into the wilderness, and he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and angels attended him.” (Mark 1:12-13) Today’s scripture reminds us of the importance of solitude and reflection, as well as the challenges we face in our own spiritual journeys. The Holy Spirit took Jesus into the wilderness, a place of quiet thinking, praying and fasting. The wilderness isn’t an easy place to be, drought, loneliness, harsh wind, wild and hungry animals, temptations of the devil, they are all part of the wilderness experience, Jesus persevered through these challenges for 40 days, just as we are doing now. In this period of wilderness, you may be feeling alone and tired, i also bet you are being tempted to give up on God and yourself, but today I want to point out one beautiful thing about being where you are now, It is the attendance of the Angels. Just as the angels attended to Jesus, they are attending to you, You aren’t alone, Angels are God’s messengers in waiting for you, they carry your answers and good news, they protect you from evil. Their company keeps you strengthened. You are not alone! God is giving you beauty for ashes. Thank You Lord for the angels in attendance, thank You for the good news they bring.
