Persevering Through Lent: Rising After We Fall

Persevering Through Lent: Rising After We Fall At the beginning of Lent, many approach the season with enthusiasm, setting spiritual goals and making promises. However, as time passes, some may struggle or fall short of their commitments. The Church encourages perseverance, reminding believers that even if they falter, they should rise and continue their journey in faith. Lent is a Time of Spiritual Renewal Lent is a time of spiritual renewal, symbolized by its Old English root meaning “springtime,” signifying growth and blossoming. By embracing the three pillars of Lent—prayer, fasting, and charity—souls can flourish and deepen their connection with God. The readings emphasize obedience to God’s commandments. Moses instructed the Israelites to follow and teach God’s laws, as keeping them not only grants life but also identifies believers as God’s children. Jesus reinforces this by affirming that He came not to abolish but to fulfill the law. His life serves as the ultimate guide to living out God’s commandments. Lent calls for humility and commitment, urging believers to allow Jesus to lead them. By doing so, they can experience true spiritual renewal, drawing closer to God and flourishing in faith.
