Passage

“I tell you, no! But unless you repent, you too will all perish.“ (Luke 13:3)

Reflection

While many know that Lent is a season of repentance, they often do not know the full meaning of the word. Firstly, repentance means to turn away from something, and the thing we turn away from is unrighteousness and sin. Secondly, it means to go or walk in a different direction, and the direction is righteousness and holy ways of living. And when we turn we also walk away from death and move in freedom to life and peace with happiness and joy.

Prayer

O Blessed Savior, Whose Word call for repentance, may we be more than hearers who listen without change. May we be doers of Your Word who turn from sin, and walk away from it by grace to life, peace, and joy. In Your name we pray. Amen.
