Bishop Guillory says Lent is a season of change, preparation

“Lent is an opportunity for us to prepare ourselves for the resurrection of Christ,” Bishop Curtis Guillory, SVD, said at Ash Wednesday Mass at St. Anthony Cathedral Basilica March 6.

Ash Wednesday services took place throughout the diocese marking the beginning of Lent. Bishop Guillory said the focus of Lent is about making change through more intense prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
