What if we lived our lives with God as the center instead of ourselves? During this Lent we have the opportunity to turn back to God, to repent, and to commit our lives to Him.

One of the graces of Lent is that we’re able to look past our immediate wants, desires, and temptations. When we have a proper perspective that focuses on God, our hearts are transformed to desire Him instead of earthly things.

Sin is real. And so is slavery to sin. That’s why Lent is such a blessing from the Church. This season is a time when we can slowly turn back to God in order to fully celebrate Easter. Now is the time for sinners to become saints.

Often, the hardest people to evangelize to are the ones that are closest to us. Jesus teaches us that anytime we share the truth, it has to come from a place of love in our hearts.

Scripture can have an incredible effect on your life if you recognize the holiness of the Word of God. Don’t let your Bible be just another book on the shelf.

This Sunday is the feast of the Baptism of our Lord. Baptism isn’t just about water washing off the dirt of sin; it’s about us becoming a new creation, sons and daughters of God.

Are you just showing up to Mass, or are you there to really worship God? The Magi had to travel from afar to worship God; we are blessed to come face to face with the same God every single time we attend Mass. Don’t take it for granted.

We have the opportunity every day to dedicate ourselves and our actions to God. That’s the meaning of being a Christian – giving our lives to God to glorify Him just as Jesus, Mary, and Joseph did.
