Lent is a journey, it means accompanying Jesus who goes up to Jerusalem, the place of the fulfilment of his mystery of Passion, death and Resurrection; it reminds us that Christian life is a “way” to take, not so much consistent with a law to observe as with the very Person of Christ, to encounter, to welcome, to follow. ~Pope Benedict XVI
And a path and a way shall be there, and it shall be called the holy way...they shall walk there that shall be delivered. And the redeemed of the Lord shall return, and shall come into Sion with praise, and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and mourning shall flee away. ~Isaiah 35:8-10
Thank You, my Jesus, for the gift of this Lenten journey. To accompany You is an honor and a joy! Amen.
