A Journey Through Lent: Daily Prayers from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday

As we enter the sacred season of Lent, I find myself reflecting on the importance of this time in our faith. Lent is not just a season of penance - it is a season of transformation, an opportunity to draw closer to God, and a journey that leads us to the heart of the Paschal Mystery.
