La Cuaresma es una temporada que invita a los católi-cos de todo el mundo a arrodillarse ante la Cruz, a me-ditar sobre los pecados que hemos cometido y que cau-saron el sufrimiento a nuestro Salvador, y entrar en un período de profunda conversión y cambio. Por esta ra-zón, la Cuaresma es un tiempo de expiación y peniten-cia, un período en el cual reconocemos nuestra pecami-nosidad, nos alejamos de nuestra vida pasada hacia una vida con Cristo, y abrazamos el llama-do a la santidad. Para entrar plena-mente en tal llamado, es necesario un arrepentimiento ferviente. Pero ¿qué significa verdaderamente arrepentir-se? La palabra griega para “arrepentimiento” que se usa en el Evangelio es “metanoia”, que literal-mente significa "cambiar la propia mente". Este "cambio" de "mente" necesariamente implica una profunda conversión interior en la que nos apar-tamos firmemente de la oscuridad mundana y abrazamos una nueva for-ma de vida como discípulos de Cristo. Por lo tanto, el arrepentimiento no es meramente conocer a Cristo, ni es una cuestión de escoger y solo algunos aspectos de las enseñanzas de nuestro Señor mientras rechazamos al prójimo; más bien, es una unión de mente, corazón y alma con Cristo. Arrepentirse es morir a Cristo, descartando nuestra forma de vida anterior a favor del Camino, la Verdad y la Vida que es Cristo mismo. Cristo se dio en la Cruz para que podamos com-prender las profundidades del amor de Dios por noso-tros, regresar a él con todo nuestro corazón y aceptar la salvación que él ofrece. Nuestro Señor indiscutiblemen-te ha demostrado su amor. Sin embargo, hay una cues-tión de amor que permanece para cada uno de nosotros: "¿Amo a Cristo con todo mi ser?" ¿Amo completamen-te a Dios ya que él me ama completamente a mí? El amor debe demostrarse en acción. El llamado más profundo al arrepentimiento se ex-perimenta cuando vamos ante la Cruz en este tiempo de Cuaresma, mientras nos arrodillamos junto con nuestra Santísima Madre, mientras contemplamos a nuestro amoroso Salvador quien se entregó por amor a nosotros, aunque somos pecadores. Nuestro Señor tiene sed de nosotros El significado de la Cruz es la incomprensible sed de amor de Dios. Lleno de un amor inexplicable y radical por ti y por mí, Jesucristo está sediento de nuestro arrepentimiento, conversión y oración; él tiene sed de nuestra alma

Lent is a season which invites Catholics and other Chris-tians around the world to kneel before the base of the Cross, meditate upon the sins we have committed which caused our Savior´s suffering, and enter into a period of profound conversion and change. For this reason, Lent is a time of atonement and penance, a period in which we acknowledge our sinfulness, turn away from our past life toward a life with Christ, and embrace the call to

holiness. In order to fully enter into such a call, fervent repentance is neces-sary. But what does it mean to truly repent? The Greek word for repentance that is used in the Gospel is metanoia, which literally means "to change one´s mind." This "change" of "mind" neces-sarily entails a profound interior con-version in which we firmly turn from worldly darkness and embrace a new way of life as Christ´s disciples. Thus, repentance is not merely to know of Christ, nor is it a matter of picking and choosing—with an intellectual arro-gance—some aspects of our Lord´s teaching while coldly rejecting others; rather, it is a union of mind, heart and soul to the Person of Christ.

To repent is to die to Christ, discarding our former way of life in favor of the Way, Truth, and Life that is Christ himself. Christ gave of himself in an indescribably radical way upon the Cross in order that we might begin to un-derstand the depths of God´s love for us, turn back to him with our whole heart, and accept the salvation he offers. Our Lord has unquestionably demonstrated his love. Yet there is a question of love that remains for each of us: "Do I love Christ with my whole being?" Do I radically love God as he radically loves me? Love must be proven out in action. The most profound call to repentance is experi-enced as we go before the Cross this Lenten season, as we kneel there along with our Blessed Mother, as we gaze upon our loving Savior who gave entirely of him-self for love of us—even though we are sinners. Our Lord thirsts for us. The meaning of the Cross is God´s incomprehensible thirst for love. Filled with an unexplainable and radical love for you and me, Jesus Christ thirsts for our repentance, conversion and prayer; he thirsts for our soul.
