“Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” (Joel 2:12)


“Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning.” (Joel 2:12)

This verse from the prophecy of Joel basically sums up the goal of Great Lent: to realize how far we have strayed from God, lamenting this fact, returning to His Divine Love, making positive changes to align ourselves with His gospel teachings, sincerely confessing and seeking repentance of our sins, and struggling to build up the spirit by overcoming our bodily passions through fasting.

Fr. John
