Lenten Musings

Dear Friends,
Lent for me is a precious time when we have the opportunity
to explore once again just what the whole "Christ event" means for us as
individuals and as a community of faith.
It is a time which, when entered into with intent can make the coming
celebration of Easter personally profound in exciting ways!
Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and is a season of the 40 days
before Easter, not including Sundays. It
commemorates the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness following his
baptism during which he was tempted by Satan.
It has traditionally been a season of prayer and repentance for
Christians to prepare spiritually for the celebration of Christ's death and
resurrection. Sundays are not included
in Lent because Sundays have always been feast days in the Church when the
resurrection of Jesus is celebrated.
Think of Sundays as being mini Easters.
