During this season of Lent, we practice self-denial, intensify our commitment to prayer and seek spiritual opportunities such as missions or retreats. We confess our sins and engage in works of charity. Many of us take time for spiritual reading and study of the Word of God. All of these elements are oriented towards the renewal and deepening of faith as individual disciples and as the Church.
