VATICAN CITY: If ‘nostalgia’ for the days of slavery blocked the journey of the people of Israel through the desert, Pope Francis said that it is the lack of hope that is blocking the journey of God’s people today. The Pope said this in a message issued on the occasion of Great Lent.
In the Pope’s message, Lent is a time of journey from the bondage of sin to spiritual renewal and freedom. During Lent, the season of grace, we can transform the desert into a place where we can recover our first love for God. The Pope also stated that this is the time when freedom matures in a way that leads to a personal decision to no longer fall into the slavery of sin. The theme of the Lenten message centered on the book of Exodus is ‘God leads us through the wilderness to freedom’.
