“Our Lenten theme Ignite Hope, is a call to be awakened to our duties and to our ailing planet, and to hear the cry of all those in need,” explains Fr Joachim Robert, chairman of Penang Office For Human Development / Caritas Penang.
“Even though we have to continue to stay vigilant and alert in these uncertain times, we can faithfully and generously carry out our Lenten commitment as exhorted by Prophet Isaiah (Isaiah 58:10) ‘Feed the hungry and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.’
