“The Journey to the Cross”  - Philippians 3:8

Lent is a 40-day spiritual journey (excluding Sundays) beginning on Ash Wednesday and leading to Resurrection Sunday. It is a time of reflection, repentance, renewal and preparation. It mirrors the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11) and moves us intentionally toward the cross.
