In the first week of Lent, Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN, invites us to embrace Lent not as a somber season but as a joyful one—a season of love, where love naturally brings joy. She encourages us to slow down, to truly listen to what is in our hearts. This attentiveness helps us become more open to the transformative work God desires to do within us during this sacred time.
