Erik Oland, SJ, the new provincial of the French Canada Province of the Society of Jesus, Lent
is a time to be more intentional.
“It’s a penitential season,
but penitential for what? To prepare yourself to journey with Jesus in Holy Week and to experience
the resurrection with him.
“It’s penitential, but it’s a
time of preparation too.”
