Lent is a call to weep for what we could have been and are not. Lent is the grace to grieve for what we should have done and did not. Lent is the opportunity to change what we ought to change but have not. Lent is not about penance. Lent is about becoming, doing and changing whatever it is that is blocking the fullness of life in us right now. Lent is a summons to live anew. —Sister Joan Chittister

Make keeping the season of Lent a communal effort by joining our weekly vigil and praying with others who, like you, see Lent as time set aside to become more fully human, more holy. Lenten vigils take place each Saturday during Lent at 7:00 p.m. in the monastery chapel. Sister Linda Romey will offer the reflection on March 15.
