Lent is a time of renewal for the whole Church, for each community and every believer. Above all it is a “time of grace” (2 Cor 6:2). God does not ask of us anything that he himself has not first given us. “We love because he first has loved us” (1 Jn 4:19).
Pope Francis

As we enter the season of Lent, please take some time to check out the Archdiocese of Chicago's webpage with a Lenten Resource Guide and Events for the Lenten Season.
