The Lent is the time of preparation for the feast of Easter and it focuses our eyes on the spirit of repentance and deep conversion.
Often we are not willing to listen to people who judge us or who look down on us. The people we can easily listen to and whom we can encounter from person to person are those who do not criticize us but respect us. Even though we have not always been the persons and Christians we should have been, we know that Jesus always treats us with respect and sees the potentials for good in us.
