Our walk together begins now as we walk our way through Lent.Francis showed us something different, meeting God in quiet moments.What if Lent became less about giving up and more about opening up?Your kitchen might become holy ground through these simple choices.Can we learn from his quiet heart?Even five minutes of holy quiet bears fruit.Our homes sing with Franciscan music when we listen closely.While our phones ping and screens glow, his simple wisdom lights our path.Each moment holds holy potential.May God bless you with his voice this Lent.
