Conversion towards a continuous transformation

by Elia Cárdenas, D.Min, Associate Director

We are currently living the Lent season, and during this time, we are called to do much more than just fast or stop doing something for 40 days. We are called to grace, to conversion. According to the dictionary, the definition of conversion is the action of turning around or revolving, that is, revolutionizing our lives.

Today, I would like to invite you all to conversion and towards a continuous transformation because we are called to deepen our relationship with and become more and more in the likeness of God's image.



The Lenten season offers us an excellent opportunity to reflect. There are many areas and opportunities for transformation and to increase our faith. The beauty of this invitation is that every single one of us is unique, so there's no particular recipe for transformation or a one-size-fits-all.

Perhaps it would be meaningful to ask ourselves:

What will bring me closer to God?

What will change me from within?

What will bring peace to my heart and soul?

These questions can help support our continued transformation and provide an opportunity to revolutionize ourselves, connect more deeply with God, and discover the beauty of our uniqueness and likeness in the image of God.
