My heart remembers your call: «Seek my face!». Your face, Lord, I will seek. Do not hide your face from me! (Ps 27:8-9a)

Fourty days, a time in which we are asked to gather our strenght and focus our efforts on conversion, return to God and struggle against the ever tempting idols

Sisters and brothers,
every year we live a definite time of fourty days, i.e. Lent, and we live it all together as God’s people.
This is a time in which we are asked to gather our strenght and focus our efforts on conversion, return to God and struggle against the ever tempting idols.
In this time the Church with its spiritual wisdom ask us for a more intensive prayer, silence, total fasting on Friday, fasting from meat on Wednesday, sharing of what we have with the needy.
These practices are indeed a true discipline for our senses, so that we can learn to seek the Living Lord above all the things. They are tools for training ourselves to be always in God’s presence and to receive from Him the gift of charity, which is the very aim of every practice.
Moderation, ascesis, silence go along with our prayer and our search for the invisible God, whose face has been revealed to us by Jesus, the God's Son and our Lord (cf. Jn 1:18). 

Best wishes for this Lent!
Good journey towards Easter, that we all wait for
and towards the eternal Easter, that we all will live in God!
