Journey of Repentance

Lent is a journey of repentance. This Lent we examine each step of the repentance process including acknowledging pain and suffering that sin causes, asking God for help, seeking mercy, being honest about our sin, asking for forgiveness, and inviting God to change us for the better.

May God renew us in this journey of faith and repentance!
