"What was from the beginning, what we have heard, what we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon and touched with our hands concerns the Word of life—1 John 1:1"
Renew your commitment to following Christ as a disciple throughout Lent. Fasting, prayer, and almsgiving are the three types of penance that you might use to hear, see, and even touch God. Consider the following questions: "Have I heard Him? Have I seen Him? Have I touched Him?"
Jesus is still alive today! He's encouraging you to watch it happen firsthand. Do not be frightened to read and contemplate the Bible for the next forty days, because:
"indeed, the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword" (Hebrews 4:12).
