Lent 2022: Jesus is Passing By
“We cannot regard this Lent as just another liturgical season which has simply happened to come around again. It is a unique time: a divine aid which we should accept. Jesus is passing by and he hopes that we will take a great step forward—today, now.”
St. Josemaria Escriva
Christ is Passing By, no. 59
