                    [Summary] => 
The Lenten Season is upon us. It began with the celebration of Ash Wednesday last week on March 5th. Ash Wednesday is the way that the Catholic Church reminds all of us of our mortality. Indeed, whether we like it or not, and no matter how rich you can be beyond your wildest dreams and be able to afford all the luxuries of life in order to pamper your bodies. All of us are going to get old and eventually die of something, if not old age.

The Season of Lent is not simply a pious commemoration of the Passion and Death of Our Lord Jesus Christ, focusing on Him and all that He did for our sake. We have been doing this year after year. 


More than this: the Season of Lent is a spiritual wake-up call for us to focus instead on ourselves, and how we are carrying our own passion and cross at this point in our life.
