Lent is the liturgical time of conversion, which marks the Church to prepare us for the great feast of Easter. It is time to repent of our sins and change something of ourselves to be better and to live closer to Christ.

In Lent, Christ invites us to change our lives. The Church invites us to live Lent as a way to Jesus Christ, listening to the Word of God, praying, sharing with our neighbor and doing good works. It invites us to live a series of Christian attitudes that help us to become more like Jesus Christ, because through the action of our sin, we move further away from God.

Therefore, Lent is the time of forgiveness and fraternal reconciliation. Every day, throughout our lives, we must throw out of our hearts hatred, resentment, envy, jealousy that opposes our love for God and for our brothers and sisters.

In Lent, we learn to know and appreciate the Cross of Jesus. With this we also learn to take up our cross with joy to reach the glory of the resurrection.

Lent includes the 40 days of preparation to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus. During this time Christians try to deepen the need for a life increasingly coherent with the Gospel message.
