BEHIND THE SCENES: MARCH 2023 UPDATE

The Season of Lent

May you have a fruitful Lent in preparation for Easter.

“Our Lord gave us the example during His life, here on earth: pray and do penance. However, Our Lord, not having concupiscence nor sin did penance and made satisfaction for our sins, thus showing us that our penance may be beneficial not only for ourselves but also for others.

Pray and do penance. Do penance in order to pray better, in order to draw closer to Almighty God. This is what all the saints have done, this is that of which all the messages of the Blessed Virgin remind us.

Would we dare to say that this is necessity less important in our day and age than in former times? On the contrary, we can and we must affirm that today, more than ever before, prayer and penance are necessary because everything possible has been done to diminish and despise these two fundamental elements of Christian life.”
