Lent at Immanuel

“I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent: by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and alms-giving; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy word. And to make a right beginning, let us now pray for grace, that we may faithfully keep this Lent.”
