LENT 2020

*LENTEN GREETINGS *

The Lord be with you...Lenten season is here with us, it's not like other years, it's one peculiar and unique.

Let us fix our attention on the blood of Christ and recognize how precious it is to God the Father, since it was shed for our salvation and brought the grace of repentance to all the world.

If we review the various ages of history, we will see that in every generation the Lord has offered the opportunity of repentance to any who were willing to turn to him. When Noah preached God's message of repentance, all who listened to him were saved. Jonah told the Ninevites they were going to be destroyed, but when they repented, their prayers gained God's forgiveness for their sins, and they were saved, even though they were not of God's people.

Under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, the ministers of God's grace have spoken of repentance; indeed the Master of the whole universe himself spoke of repentance with an oath: _~*I do not wish the death of a sinner but his repentance_~* , says the Lord. He also pleaded with Israel, _~*House of Israel, repent of your wickedness_~*. 

This is an indication of last Sunday's readings that called us to perfection and Holiness. This is the call during this Lenten season. What should I shade off? What repentance do I need? What are the ways that will lead me back to God?

Our Lord God is alive, he's  always ready for me and you to seek him. Fruitful Lenten season. May God bless you +.
