I’m pleased to share a reflection with you on the Universal Call to Holiness.

Do you believe you are called to holiness? Do you believe you are called to the same level of sanctity as a member of the clergy or a member of a religious order? Do you believe God can use all of your gifts and life experiences, redeem your past sorrows, and make you a new person in Christ? God can use someone like you. I hope this short video encourages you to say “Yes” to the call to holiness as you continue with your Lenten preparation.

As a reminder, Lent prepares us for Easter. During Lent, therefore, we do the following things:

• Fast
• Give alms
• Remember our baptism
• Pray for ourselves and for all people

To learn more – check out my Blog Post on Prayer and Fasting during Lent. The combination of prayer and fasting is a powerful experience. Whenever we are faced with what may appear to be insurmountable troubles, we may notice a difference if we add fasting to our prayer lives.
