Lent is about liberation. In Lent we retrace at a much deeper spiritual level the liberation of the Israelites from slavery, as Jesus, the new Moses, seeks to lead us by means of the new and eternal Passover on a journey with Him through the desert of life, through even death, into the eternal promised land. Lent is about being set free from the domination of the temptations of the evil one by spending 40 days with Jesus in a spiritual desert. It’s about journeying from the liberation of sin, back to the joy of coming back to the Father’s house. 

 

The three practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving all point to this liberation: liberation from egocentric self-dependence through putting God in His proper place in prayer, from giving into our lower appetites by the self-mastery that comes via fasting, from obsessing about our needs and wants and by sacrificing for those whose needs, are greater, in giving of ourselves, our time and our possessions.

 

The greatest news the world has ever heard, is that God so loved us that He sent His Only Son to die out of love for us so that we might be liberated from bondage of Sin and from the eternal death, and to live forever in joy with Him, beginning now in this life, continuing forever in the next.

 

We are the disciples of the One Who has conquered sin, death, and hopelessness once and for all! 

 

Let us rejoice and never cease to Praise our Lord and Risen Savior, Jesus Christ!

Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia!
