I join the rest of the nation in solemn observance of the Holy Week.
Lent is a time of deep reflection as well as renewal. We must all remember what Jesus said: “I am the way, and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”
Lent is also an occasion to think more profoundly about the obligations we have to ourselves, and the obligations we have to one another as human beings.
Christ demonstrated God's unconditional love for us. He taught us the importance of helping others. We must therefore refocus our goals and values, so that they are truly consistent with the teachings of Christ.
Let us celebrate Christ’s gift of love this Lenten season, and give thanks for His many blessings for our people and our country.
