As we are approaching Lent we would like to share a reflection of Fr. Thomas J. Euteneuer, President of the Human Life International, to discover a close connection between this special time of the year and our pro-life activities: "The Scriptures and our Church both tell us that Lent is not a season for timid creatures. If in Lent we were to simply jump through the hoops of fasting and abstinence on the days prescribed, we would be rightly accused of a sort of spiritual minimalism. But God is not served by minimalists – He wants tested saints of faith to be channels of His Life to the world! That is what Lent calls us to be."Friday, February 12, 2010
Lent and Life
