This holy season is never an easy one, but is full of grace if we enter into it with a spirit of joy. While not often associated with Lent, joy is the fruit of a faith centered in God. We know that our Heavenly Father deeply desires to be close to us and us to him. Because of this closeness, we feel the presence of the Lord at all times as well as see his providence filling our lives. Lent is the perfect time to reflect on how we let our faith move us closer to God and to others. While Lent is ten days old it is not too late to let this holy season be one of blessing and grace for us. Happy Lent.
