Great Lent

Today Great Lent commences.  The liturgical life is fundamentally one of imitating Jesus and sharing in the mystery of his life.  Driven by the Spirit, through prayer and fasting Jesus prepared himself for his future ministry.  Even throughout the next three years he spent his nights in prayer so as to constantly stay attuned to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

Great Lent beckons us to get in tune with what's really driving us and to examine how attuned we are to the Spirit of Holiness.
