Lent is a Time of Conversion
At the Easter Vigil, we will make our profession of Faith. From the start of the season of Lent till Easter, we undergo the process of change in our lives to become another Christ. Our relationship with Jesus must start growing and we then learn what it means to change for the Lord. We begin to understand the love of God and we are able to respond to God's call.
This conversion must force us to reflect on our own faith, it must challenge us to look into our hearts and to question ourselves about how we have used the gifts that this loving God has given us.
What did I do to make the world a better place? How much better is my family or my Church because of me? Conversion is not necessarily changing our religion, it is about us becoming better Christians, it is about accepting and living all the wonderful gifts that our Lord has already given us because there is nothing new the Lord has to give us, but what is important for us is living and using what He has already given us for ourselves as well as for others.

Daily Prayers
The Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried, He descended into hell; the third day He arose again from the dead; He ascended into Heaven, sitteth at the right hand of God, the Father Almighty, from thence He shall come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Holy Catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
