Understanding the Lenten Season

Lenten Season is a time of serious, purposeful repentance and joyful thanksgiving that the Lord has offered the one full and perfect sacrifice for our sins. Lenten Season is a special time of self-examination where we remember what our sins deserve, and what they cost our Savior. It is a time when we grow in love for the Savior and in thankfulness for His sacrificial death in our place, paying for our sins. So repent and return to the Lord your God.

“Even now” declare the Lord return to me with all your hearts, with fasting and weeping and mourning.” Rend your hearts and not your garments. Return to the Lord your God, for he is gracious and compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love and relent from sending calamity. Joel 2: 12-13
