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.
