Mariaaaa: Reflecting on God's Love During Lent 2023

"Lenten season is a time to reflect, renew and rejoice in the joy of the resurrection."

The Lenten season of 2023 has been an interesting observance for me. As our community continues to be as it is, it is not just like the past years that we can't get out. I have had to find ways to observe the season without the usual festivities. As such, I have focused my attention on bonding with my family and deepening my connection with God.

One of the ways I have found to observe the Lenten season of 2023 is to stay at home and bond with my family. Although I have not been able to partake in the usual activities of the season, I have enjoyed the quality time I have been able to spend with my family. We have shared meals, played games, and had meaningful conversations. This time has allowed us to reconnect and strengthen our relationship.

Another way I have observed the season of Lent is by deepening my connection with God. I have used the time to reflect on my actions and to focus on my faith. I have prayed more often and read devotional books. I have also made a conscious effort to be more mindful of the blessings I have in my life.

In conclusion, the Lenten season of 2023 has provided me with the opportunity to stay at home and bond with my family, as well as to deepen my connection with God. Despite not being able to partake in the usual activities, I have found peace in the small moments of joy I have been able to experience.
