Today, as we begin our Lenten journey, may our hearts be open to the transforming love and grace of Christ. In this season of reflection, repentance, and renewal, let us shed what burdens us and embrace the hope found in His sacrifice. May our daily prayers, small acts of kindness, and sincere efforts to seek God draw us ever closer to Him and inspire us to share His light with everyone around us.
