Lent is approaching quickly, and the pastor offers advice for a fruitful Lent. Two principles are highlighted: 'keep the end in mind' for transformation and being less influenced by worldly things, and 'simple but heroic' Lenten resolutions to grow spiritually. Let's reflect on how to make Lent more meaningful this year.

Fr. Andrew Dickinson invites parishioners to rediscover the power of intention and purpose in Lenten devotions, moving beyond just giving things up to offering them as a spiritual sacrifice. Lent begins on February 18th with Ash Wednesday, highlighting the importance of fasting, almsgiving, and prayer. He emphasizes the significance of intentional prayer when missing the things given up as a reminder to pray for specific intentions throughout the Lenten season.
As Lent approaches, parishioners are encouraged to deepen their Lenten disciplines by incorporating intentions into their sacrifices. Instead of simply abstaining from something, the focus is on utilizing the feeling of missing that item as a prompt for prayer. By imbuing fasting with intentional prayer, individuals can draw closer to God and fully embrace the grace of the Lenten season.
