A blessed Ash Monday to you all. May this season of Great Lent bring fruitful change into your life #Maronite #Liturgy #AshMonday See you all after Easter. May this Lent transform you mind, heart and soul. You can continue to go to our webpage for resources. This lent, think about what consumes our lives the most. Our phones, the internet, instant updates. Take the challenge and go offline. To read more about the benefits of giving up social media for lent, find the link in our bio. #lent2020 #livingmaronite #maronite Lent is an opportunity to transform and set things right in our lives. Over the Sunday’s of Lent we will hear about how the simplest touch of Christ can heal us. If you are struggling with addiction or have obstacles preventing you from getting close to God, Lent is the time to seek Christ, seek help if you need it to and find healing. What is it that is distancing you from Christ? Now is the time to ponder that question, work out how you are going to distance yourself from those things distancing yourself from God and prepare yourself to be healed. #maronite #livingmaronite #healing #lent Entering Lent we are encouraged to ‘give up something’. We are also encouraged to ‘give something’. This week in Australia the fatal consequences of domestic violence were again splashed across our media. There are situations of domestic violence occurring every day, behind closed doors, in secret and in places we never see. We are supporters of our local women’s shelter. Feel free to follow them, from time to time they call for assistance. You can donate whenever you want or check out your local women’s shelter and help out. Dearest Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As has become our yearly tradition some of our team has decided to completely deactivate all social media for Lent. Others will only be having limited engagement. Ordinarily the season of Lent sees the most activity on our page. We have learnt that we must take time to approach Christ and look and listen for the direction of the Holy Spirit for ourselves and for this initiative. We feel that for us to get closer to God, we need to detach from the world. Before going offline, we will be pre-scheduling posts for each week’s Lenten Gospel. You can always check out our page at livingmaronite.com for resources. One of our members will be monitoring the page from time to time. We may not return messages quickly. This Sunday we will hear the Gospel on the Wedding at Cana. The wedding feast is our opportunity to accept Christ the groom’s wedding invitation to hear God’s word, partake of the divine sacrifice and experience God’s forgiveness and mercy. Lent is a time for each of us to discern what obstacles are in our way to Christ. Lent is not meant to be a momentary change, it can permanently transform us. We encourage you to discern what you will do in preparation for Lent. Living Maronite has to be more than just reading information on the internet. Find your local Parish and enter and experience its living Liturgy. Pick your medicine, prepare to remove the obstacles and encounter Christ this Lent and truly live Maronite. We will be back with you after Lent, truly invigorated and ready together to meet the Risen Lord. In Christ The Living Maronite Team
