Carmelite Friar Nicholas Hoh OCD presented a retreat on Lent — Meaning and Practices for parishioners of the Church of the Holy Redeemer on March 11 and 12.
Fr Nicholas told the attendees that the Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving should work hand in hand to gain full redemption in our lives. Prayer is a conversation between God and the inner you, fasting helps you focus on the time spent in prayer, not on earthly food and pleasures, while almsgiving brings us nearer to God as He wants everyone to have a fair share of the earthly treasures He created.
The friar’s use of Scriptural references from the Old and New Testaments was an excellent way to enrich our connection with Jesus and God, our Father, and deepen our understanding of the Lenten practices. It is a great reminder that Lent is a time for reflection, sacrifice, and renewal, and that by engaging in these practices, we can become better versions of ourselves and grow closer to God.
