Lent is a time to draw closer to God, to seek His guidance, and to trust in His steadfast love and mercy.

Anyone who would like to know more about God, should follow the scent of mercy and truth, of justice and peace. 

God’s business, our business, the church’s business is to proclaim that God’s grace, love, and forgiving mercy.

Bringing hope into our lives is learning to see the broken kernel not as a sign of defeat but of new life.

Our Lord’s words are of lasting value. And, therefore, perhaps our Lord’s words should be taken seriously.

Hope is what springs the strength and courage we need to keep moving forward, even in the face of adversity.

Hope shines despite the circumstances, and even when there is no sign of progress. Hope is light in the midst of darkness.

Through any challenge that one might be called to go through, one should always remember that we will never be alone, for “God-is-with-us."

Hope is to trust in a God who will be present in the most stinking circumstances and will make rivers flow in the desert.
