This morning we had our Ash Wednesday Mass to begin the season of Lent. Students and teachers gathered together to heed the call to repentance and conversion, fasting and abstinence, and the invitation to do good deeds especially to the marginalized members of the community.
For me the most effective and acceptable offering to God is to back up our prayers with actions, our faith expressed in good works. All our sacrifices, good intentions and fasting would render useless if no concrete action is taken up. As what the old proverb says: “The road to hell is paved with good intentions.' Thus, as followers of Christ we should be more of actions rather than of words; we should walk the talk.
