Ash Wednesday: Harden Not Your Heart
As we embark on our Lenten journey, we must be attentive to the grace of offering ourselves in humility, to the grace of encounter—to harden not our hearts.
Sr. Norma Pimentel, M.J., a sister with the Missionaries of Jesus, is the executive director of Catholic Charities of the Rio Grande Valley. She oversees the charitable arm of the Diocese of Brownsville, providing oversight of different ministries and services in the Rio Grande Valley through emergency assistance, homelessness prevention, disaster relief, clinical counseling, pregnancy care, food programs, and humanitarian relief to immigrants.
As we embark on our Lenten journey, we must be attentive to the grace of offering ourselves in humility, to the grace of encounter—to harden not our hearts.
Al emprender nuestro camino de Cuaresma, debemos estar atentos a la gracia de ofrecernos en humildad, soltando y entregando nuestra vida a Dios que inspira el bien que hacemos.
Para mucha gente de este país, fue fácil mirar hacia otro lado, ya que no fueron testigos de todo esto. Pero ¿cómo no haber cruzado el puente y ponernos a su lado?
