We are getting ready to observe the Lenten Season this week, with Ash Wednesday. Let us prepare our hearts and minds to be engaged in an intentional way, of repentance, prayer, fasting, and reflection.

 “Forty days and forty nights, You were fasting in the wild; forty days and forty nights, tempted, and yet undefiled.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, Jesus was tempted in the wilderness forty days and forty nights, yet He did not sin. Let us all aspire to resist all forms of temptation during Lent, setting a pattern for us to continue on in this way with God’s help.
