"Behold, now is a very acceptable time; behold, now is the day of salvation." ( 2 Corinthians 6: 2 NABRE)
The Season of Lent which begins today is a great Season of favors and spiritual gifts. First and foremost the gift of conversion. Whether we are beginners or advanced in our Faith Journey, continual conversion is all the Christian life is all about.
The word of God urges us not to postpone our conversion. Do not say: "I am young. Let me enjoy some more fun." ( Cf Sirach 5: 1 - 8). God overlooks sins to bring us to repentance. He spares us because of His Mighty Mercy.
"For gracious and merciful is the Lord, slow to anger, rich in kindness, and relenting in punishment." (Cf Joel 2: 2 - 18)
"If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts." (Cf Psalm 95: 8)
