Lent 2017 Dear Brothers and Sisters, Lent is the right time to renew ourselves in the encounter with Christ alive in his word in the sacraments and in the neighbor, the Lord who in the 40 days he spent in the desert he overcame the delusions of the tempter. It shows us the way to follow, that the Holy Spirit guides us to realize a true path of Conversion to rediscover the gift of the word of God. Be cleansed from sin. The mission we all have is to announce Christ, no one can tell you who it is; it is God You must find, you must have a personal experience with God. This Lent I invite you to serve Christ present in the neediest brothers. I encourage all the faithful to manifest this spiritual renewal by participating in the Lenten bell that the Churches promote in every part of the world the culture of the encounter of the human family, we pray for each other so that by participating in the victory of Christ we know how to open our doors to the weak and to the poor then we will live and we will give full testimony of the Joy of the Passover. Lent comes providentially to awaken us, to Shake off our inactivity " Pope Francisco
