A short note from Patriarch Nicholas III...
Today, on this special Sunday of Lent, the Church softens the discipline of the Lenten observances in order to remind us of the great joy that awaits us at the end of this symbolic desolation. The spiritual journey is a difficult and perilous one. It is wrought with dangers on all levels. Some have lost themselves entirely in the process. But for those who remain diligent and persevering, the mystery of Easter awaits us. And it is a mystery that will expand our spiritual awareness beyond the limits of our greatest expectation. Rejoice! Christ is in our midst!

On the contrary, it is one filled with grace overflowing. Perilous? With a loving Father eagerly awaiting our turning? Hardly. I am saddened that you see your path with such dread and wariness. It must be tiring to tread such a one as this.
