Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Every Lent, the Church invites us to return to the Lord. We fast, we pray, we share our gifts. But this year, 40 young Latino Catholics are also doing something simple and deeply transformative: They are telling their stories on how God is working in their lives.
Lent is about changing the trajectory of our lives. We try to nudge our life toward God – toward love, kindness and generosity. In Scripture, we repeatedly see tax collectors and sinners offered the chance to repent and change their ways. There’s truth in the old saying “It doesn’t matter where you’ve been, only where you’re going.” The question is not: What did I accomplish yesterday? Rather: What is the Lord asking of me today?
