Lent, a time to start over, a call to transformation. A turning away from the old self to the true self, the self God intended for us to be. Sometimes this can seem overwhelming, especially when we reflect on our sinfulness. However, even though the season of Lent calls for us to examine our sinfulness, the Lord also calls us to renewal.
Let us then not dwell on our sinfulness, but learn from it and move forward this Lent, with a new spirit, as an example to others of the Lord's joy, promise and salvation. Let us not only fast, but feast on the Lord's goodness and the goodness he calls us to!
