The Church is Preparing for the Feast of Feasts, Are We Ready Yet?

Media of the Middle East Council of Churches (MECC) 

Few days and Christians will start a season that is considered one of the holiest Christian stations in history. It is the season of Holy Lent, the safe path towards the Feast of the Resurrection, the feast of feasts and the Holy Season. Hence, the Lent is a time of spiritual renewal and a journey during which Man passes from danger to safety, sin to salvation, and anxiety to contentment.

Christians prepare for their Lenten Journey following the path of Jesus Christ who was led, just after his baptism, by the Holy Spirit into the desert where he fasted for 40 days and defeated Satan. Jesus refused every temptation of the Devil and told him “It is written, ‘One must not live on bread alone, but on every word of God’” (Luke 4: 4), “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve him only’” (Luke 4: 8).

O God, You guided Your Saint Maron to the ascetic life, granted him divine virtues, and leaded him on the difficult path towards the Heavenly Kingdom. We ask You, through his intercession, to shower us with Your love so that we may walk in Your paths, learn thy commandments, and follow the footsteps of our father, St. Maron, so that his holy life may shine in our lives. O Lord, let us feel Your love, carry Your Gospel in this East and the whole world, so we may be guided to the glory of the Resurrection and eternal life. We thank and praise You, Your Blessed Father and Your Holy Spirit. Amen (Prayer to St. Maron).
