Bishop Sebastian Francis’ Lenten messege.

PENANG: “Religion and spirituality without repentance and conversion are the corruption of the Church and the individual,” Bishop Sebastian Francis said in his Lenten Message for 2018, released on January 26.

“The time is fulfilled, and the Kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the Gospel” (cf. Mark 1:15), quoted the Penang Diocese prelate.

“All of us, as Members of the Body of Christ, as People of God and as Individuals, are called to repent and believe in the Gospel.

“As you begin this Lenten journey with Ash Wednesday and leading on to Holy Week, the Sacred Triduum, Easter, Ascension and Pentecost, we will be focused and remain united in prayer.

“Have a Joyful, Sorrowful, Glorious and Luminous journey led by the Holy Spirit, from Ash Wednesday to Pentecost.”
