Lent quotes

◆ HOLY WEEK is not only time to repent, it is also a time to reflect on what we have done to ourselves, to other people and how our relationship with the Lord made us better persons. This is the time of the year where we take time out and talk to the Lord and ask forgiveness for whatever wrong we have done. Try not to celebrate HOLY WEEK at beach. Just reflect and talk to God, This is the greatest gift your offer to the ALMIGHTY. Let us spare this week for our GOD. Let us spend time for Reflection and Pray. Be thankful for all the blessings He bestowed upon us. May we all have a meaningful HOLY WEEK.
