We can find very little about the holy Myrrh-Bearing Women in the Gospel pages. But there are the most important things in this “little”: faithfulness and love.
The saints have lit the “candles” of their hearts forever so that the universe, plunged into the darkness of the abandonment of God, could warm itself—if only a little—from their light!
Lent is a space of love, kindness, compassion, self-reproach, leniency towards others, penitential tears, watching your heart and soul!
Lent is an amazing opportunity for each one of us, for each member of the Church, to escape from the deadening vanity, running around, chattering, and the endless pursuit of some dubious “values”.
The believing heart always lives in the space of a miracle, in the space of this thanksgiving, in the space of penitent tears.
