Change Before It’s Too Late — 6th Week — Day 1 — Great Lent

Today’s Gospel: Luke 13:1–5

“Unless you repent you will all likewise perish.” (Luke 13:5)

Meditation

Repentance is not just for Lent—it is the heartbeat of the Christian life. For five weeks, the Church has whispered, urged, and cried out: return to God! Today, wisdom calls us to change before it’s too late.

Early Church Fathers’ Saying

“Those then who are to repent, if they do repent, will be strong in faith, if they now repent while the tower is building.”
— Shepherd of Hermas

Practical Practice

Pause today. Acknowledge one area in your life that needs to change. Make one “Matania”—a physical bow of repentance—while saying:
“Lord Jesus Christ, change me.”
Let it be real.
