After months of revelry culminating in Carnival Monday and Tuesday, Christians now enter a season of prayer and fasting with the start of Lent.

Vicar General of the Roman Catholic Church, Father Martin Sirju, says the Lenten period provides an opportunity for the nation to reflect.

He urges citizens to look deep within themselves for solutions to the societal issues facing Trinidad and Tobago.
