LENTEN DIGEST with FR. PIUSRALPH EFFIONG, SMMM

FRIDAY OF THE THIRD WEEK OF LENT

Mystery of the day: Sorrowful

Theme: "Repent..."

 "Repent, says the Lord, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17).

Beloved friend in Christ, on this day in the third week of Lent, God continue to nurture us as the mother does to her child. Giving us hope, to reconcile us back to Himself. He often puts an invitation to each and every one of us, stressing the need to be faithful to His detects and ordinances. 

It is keeping to this command that the prophecy of Hosea will be made manifested in our lives. (cf. Hosea 14:1-9)

In the light if this great invitation, Evangelist Matthew  reported saying: 

 "Repent, says the Lord, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand." (Matthew 4:17).

As we continue our Lenten fast, let us not forget in haste the need to match our words with action. For in doing this, victory will be our song. 

Peace be with you!

Let us pray

Pour your grace into our hearts, we pray, O Lord, that we may be constantly drawn away from unruly desires and obey by your own gift the heavenly teaching you give us. 

Through Christ our Lord. Amen
