"Lent is a time for us to empty ourselves of worldly distractions and allow God fill us with his love, his grace and his peace." St. Teresa of Calcutta

Life is full of distractions, which take our minds and hearts away from the source of our being, namely, God. Some of these distractions are temptations that point us to self-gratification or self-importance. Lent is a grace-time given to us by God to return back to him. The Book of Revelations put it thus: "Return to your first love." What are the contents of our daily lives that lead us to God and what are the ones that are distractions that lead us away from God? Lent is a time for filtering our thoughts, words and deeds through the lens of grace, so that what remains is good, perfect and pleasing to God.
