Events for February 2024

14.02.2024, Ash Wednesday – “Even now,” declares the Lord, “return to me with all your heart” (Joel 2: 12). Lent is a time to return to the Lord, not half-heartedly, but “with all your heart.” Our daily temptation is to love the world and what is in the world (1 John 2: 15-17). The lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life may have led us astray from the Cross of Christ.

May the waters of baptism remind us to look at the Cross of Christ, and the discipline of Lent guided by the Holy Spirit cleanse our hearts with repentance, prayer and fasting.

I hope this season of lent helps us to reflect on the Father’s love, manifested in the suffering Cross of Christ that redeemed us from all our sins.
