Today is the first Sunday of Lent.

Lent is the time for getting ready for Easter – the most important date in the Church’s year.

It is the time to prepare for the moment when Jesus died and then rose again – bringing new life to us all.

In today’s Gospel, we hear how Jesus himself spent 40 days in the wilderness preparing for this moment.

We too have started the countdown of 40 days until the great celebration of Easter.

How are you going to use this time to prepare?
