2018 LENT &

CAMPANHA DA FRATERNIDADE

O tema é Fraternidade e superação da violência, tendo como lema

Em Cristo somos todos irmãos (Mt 23,8).

  Lent is the spiritual “journey” that prepares us for the Resurrection of Our Lord Jesus Christ. For this reason, we need to be willing to take the challenge through 40 days of intense prayer, fasting and almsgiving (charity). The Lenten season which starts on Ash Wednesday and goes all the way to Palm Sunday, brings us (the Church) the sense that it is possible to resist the temptations of the world and concentrate solely in the steps of the life of Christ. The temptations of selfishness, power and greed are always lurking, but with Christ, we can overcome them and be a new person in Him.  

  

Our model of society is based on consumerism and appearances. As we supply these necessities, we sacrifice the ONE house that belongs to all of us.   Caring for our home is a commitment that should not be taken by the Catholic Church alone, but by all people of good will.
