Reconciliation lies at the center of this sacred season. It is not merely about confessing sins but about rediscovering God’s mercy and allowing it to transform our lives.
Seeing the bloodshed, broken lives, and repeated failures of peace in many parts of the world, this Lenten season I felt a strong need to begin with myself. If the world is to change, I must first be willing to change.
The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is encouraging the faithful to undertake “Digital Media Fasting” as a meaningful spiritual practice for Lent 2026, urging Catholics to detach from excessive technology use and rediscover prayer, silence, and authentic relationships.
Lent is not merely a ritual season but a sacred opportunity for renewal and transformation. It invites us to step into the desert with Christ, seeking repentance, discipline, and deeper intimacy with God.
