Summary

There are a number of practices that we are preparing to do during this Lent. But this time of year shouldn't only be a project that we need to fulfill but rather an opportunity.

Lent is an opportunity to exercise a posture of prayer, fasting, almsgiving and surrender. Surrenderring to someone, to a relationship that matters, to God.

In this episode we're gonna talk about about how we transform what's being taken from us to something that is offered, how we can make our sacrifices and circumstances, holy.

A reminder and an invitation to relinquish control and to entrust everything to the Lord when we cannot control or we don't like the things happening around us. A proposal to trust that the Lord can make something good and beautiful out of it.
