R<\/span>emember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And with those words, our Lent has begun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Holy Mother Church calls us to make these next forty days until Easter a time of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Lent is a pilgrimage, in a sense, through time if not space, through death to resurrection. A pilgrimage of penitence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us walk together in the Lord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
