Sr. Kathleen Moroney

Please take a moment to read this reflection on Lent from Sister Kathleen Moroney.

On Ash Wednesday a mixture of ashes and consecration oil are imposed on the foreheads of the faithful in the sign of the cross.  This symbolism is rooted in the Old Testament and in some early churches as the practice of wearing sack cloth and ashes to symbolize penance.

Lent is a feast of friendship and it is always a new beginning.  It is a time to be more loving, more generous, more forgiving and more grateful.  Our Lenten journey should bring us closer to Christ and it is a perfect time to discern a call–maybe to religious life as a Bon Secours Sister.  Or to whatever changes we may see fit to change in our own lives.
