It is good to contemplate more deeply the Paschal Mystery through which God’s mercy has been granted to us. Indeed, the experience of mercy is only possible in a face-to-face relationship with the crucified and risen Lord, “who loved me and gave himself for me” (Gal 2:20), in a sincere dialogue among friends. This is why prayer is so important during Lent. More than a duty, prayer is an expression of our need to respond to the love of God that always precedes and sustains us. Christians pray knowing that, although unworthy, we are still loved. Prayer can take various forms, but what truly matters in God’s eyes is that it penetrates deep within us and weakens our hardness of heart, so that we may convert ever more fully to God and his will.

In this propitious time, let us allow ourselves to be led like Israel into the desert (cf. Hos 2:14), so that we may finally hear the voice of our Spouse and let it resonate ever more deeply within us. The more we commit ourselves to his word, the more we will experience the mercy he freely grants us. Let us not let this time of grace pass in vain, in the absurd illusion that we can control the timing and means of our conversion to him.
