00:21Anlecon Bishop Claude Berkeley is urging Christians to approach the Lenten season with intention and honesty.
00:29At an Ash Wednesday service at the Holy Trinity Cathedral, Bishop Berkeley said the period calls for deliberate self-examination
00:36and renewal.
00:38A time of focus. In fact, I have been likening it over the years to the time when we take
00:47the car to the mechanic to be serviced.
00:52To make it more road worthy.
00:58I have likened it to the time when we carry the vessel on dry dock.
01:05To make it more sea worthy.
01:11And for Christians, for believers in God and Christ, using this calendar,
01:18it is the time when we make ourselves more spiritually disciplined, worthy.
01:27Lent marks the 40-day period leading up to Easter and centers on reflection, repentance and spiritual preparation.
01:34Bishop Berkeley encourages worshippers to practice spiritual discipline with sincerity, grounded in love for God and neighbor.
01:42He also reminded the faithful that the Ash Wednesday observance carries deep meaning and should not be treated lightly.
01:50If you think you are penitent, if you are, you don't have to memorize yourself and ask with taking the
01:58ashes.
01:58The ashes is for the penitent.
02:02Those who are sorry for their sins and intend to walk in a particular way.
02:08You just want to stay in language.
02:08Me.
