During Lent, we turn our hearts to Christ’s call to holiness in the Gospels: “You, therefore, must be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Mt 5:48). Although our life as Catholics demands that we strive day after day and year after year for this perfection, Lent invites us to examine our souls more closely to find where and how, when and why we fall short. And more: it inspires us to take action. Devoting our minds to more frequent contemplation of what Christ suffered for us, our hearts are inflamed to a deeper and more active love of our Savior.
