Young Christian Workers from St. Matthew’s parish marked the beginning of their Lenten journey by taking their time to cheer the sick at Montfort Hospital. As an act showing obedience to Christ, who said, “whatsoever you do to the least of my brothers, that you do to me”: these youth endeavoured to start their spiritual journey this Lent with this act of kindness. Fr Emmanuel Malikebu, who is chaplain for the grouping, recalls that, usually, every year these youths engage in charity work in this season as one way of preparing themselves for Easter. He was very thankful to YCW members for always taking the lead in such exercises. The charity work was done on Saturday 21st February 2026. Lent is a season when Christians enjoin their lives to the suffering Jesus.

Catholics worldwide begin the Lenten season today. It is that season again when Christians observe spiritual exercises during 40 days beginning today with the celebration of Ash Wednesday. A celebration that holds concrete meaning for those who experience spring in their seasonal cycle. During this period, flowers begin to appear. It is a season where Christian faith is expected to spring to life. The season will culminate in the Holy week and have a happy ending in the resurrection of Jesus. In our Diocese, masses will be celebrated in all the Churches and Bishop Peter Musikuwa will lead the celebration at Chikwawa Cathedral.
