Pausing to Begin Lent With Honest Hearts
Lent begins with honest reflection — pausing to notice where we are and how past Lenten seasons have shaped us through growth, struggle, companionship and grace.
Para quienes abrazan el carisma pasionista, la Cuaresma se convierte en una escuela compartida de la Cruz. Recordar la Pasión de Jesús es aliarnos con Él en el sufrimiento del mundo y permitir que su amor sufriente nos transforme en un pueblo de esperanza y compasión fiel.

Lent begins with honest reflection — pausing to notice where we are and how past Lenten seasons have shaped us through growth, struggle, companionship and grace.

Fr. David Colhour, CP, reflects on how Lent is a sacred, disruptive journey that calls us to honesty, compassion, and transformation as we move toward the Cross.

Lent invites the Church into a shared journey of prayer, conversion and hope. It is not only about personal sacrifice, but about walking together toward Easter, shaped by the suffering and love of Jesus.
