Today is Ash Wednesday, which means we are now only 40 days away from Easter. This is a very significant time in the Catholic Church as Easter Sunday is the most important date on the liturgical calendar. So much of our faith centres around the resurrection of Jesus, because we know that if he resurrected from the dead, then we will do the same when our time comes. This gives us great comfort and hope! During Lent, we are encouraged to give up something. Many of us choose to give up chocolates or something else that we like. Maybe this Lent, we could try giving up saying unkind words, getting angry at others, being selfish or something else that damages relationships. Lent is a time for reflection and penance, so please use this time wisely so that we all can become better versions of ourselves.
