Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Through the prophet Joel, the Lord tells us that if we return to Him “with fasting, weeping, and mourning” that He will relent in punishment and have pity on His people. God even goes so far as to say that He will restore everything that the locust has eaten (Joel 2:25-32).
Lent, of course, is a time where we think about sin – original sin and sin in general. Since our problem with sin began in a garden, maybe it makes sense to use a garden analogy.
