Lenten penance is
about conversion.
It is lifting oneself
from what binds us
and blinds us.
It is lifting oneself to
the One who frees us
and leads us on
the way to true life.
His sacrifice on
the Cross is the great
act of the Reconciliation
of humanity with God.
Putting conversion into
practice means walking
on a path by which we are,
in truth, reconciled
with God and one another.
From the beginning of Lent
on Ash Wednesday and
till we stand with Our Lady
at the Foot of the Cross
we hear a great call from
the Lord: Be reconciled
with Me and with one another!
(Graphic: Susan Steinke saved to Christian)
Marvellous! .....At the foot of the cross we hers a great call.....when we get immersed in the thought of God we can hear him speaking to us..

‘Be reconciled with me and with one another' is the most important message of God has given to the entire human clan. It is the message, His commandment that everyone needs to follow. Splendidly rendered.5 *s.
