Lent
Theme
2024
'Church Celebrating Human Fraternity'
The theme for Lent 2024 in the Archdiocese of Kuala Lumpur is ‘Church Celebrating Human Fraternity’ (Mt. 7:12), it comes from the PMPT Themes for February 2024 and the Synodal Journey (Church being from Aug 2023 – July 2024) which underscores the significance of unity, solidarity, and mutual respect among all people, regardless of their cultural, religious, or ethnic differences. It is the ‘Golden Rule’ of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you.
This theme reflects the ideals of harmony, peace and collaboration among individuals from diverse backgrounds. It's deeply rooted in the concept of recognizing and appreciating the shared humanity among all individuals.
