*Conversion.* - Christ came to save us, sinners, and guide us on the way of salvation through repentance and conversion.

With the help of God's grace, we shall be able to fulfill God's commandments, overcome temptations, disordered inclinations, avoid sin, and do the natural and supernatural good.

Christ did not come to interpret and trivialize sin by appealing to the love of God, but to remove its deadly sting from our mortal being and to make us capable of living “in true righteousness and holiness” in the following of Christ (cf. Eph 4:24).

"If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar and his word is not in us. …But if anyone sins, we have the Father's help: Jesus Christ, the righteous one. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not only for our sins, but also for the sins of the whole world." (1 John 1:10:2, 1f)".

Each day during this Lenten Season, I will be offering you a challenge, which will help you prepare for the joyful day of Easter.

Today’s challenge: Make *a bold decision*, put aside, or cut off that toxic friendship, which is an occasion of sin.
