"Remember you are dust,
and to dust you shall return."
from the liturgy of Ash Wednesday
In these clear words and with ashes put on our foreheads
we are reminded of our own destiny,
that this life on earth is not forever.
Yet, we believe that through death
God will lead us to full, to eternal life.
St. Benedict advises us for Lent to offer God something
"with joy of the Holy Spirit"
and to look forward to Holy Easter,
the feast of the resurrection,
victory of life over death.
Some practices for Lent are decided in community,
individual practices are submitted to the superior.
Each sister receives a part of the bible to be read.
May this Lenten journey help us
to grow in love to Him,
who loved us first!
