DAY OF REFLECTION FOR  MEN & WOMEN:   The holy season of Lent invites us to conversion—a transformation of our hearts and minds, and a renewal of the way we speak, think and act.  

How do the three traditional disciplines of Lent—prayer, fasting and almsgiving— help us in our journey of conversion from blindness to sight and from darkness to light?
