Lent
Tomorrow begins the Spiritual Pilgrimage towards Easter Sunday within the Roman Catholic Church (The Eastern Catholic Church started Lent on Monday, with the Eastern Orthodox following suit this coming Monday). Many Catholics and other Christians will sacrifice something in order to make their lives better and more Christ centered. I have often fallen in what I have attempted, but this year I am going to try harder. I often wonder how often these sacrifices have left a permanent character mark on these faithful Christians. Lent should be a time when we examine our lives, make the appropriate sacrifices, and end Lent better than where we started. Once Easter arrives, and we commemorate once again the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead it should not be business as usual. Our God and our Faith demands that we continually rejuvenate our spiritual lives and that we continue to die to this world of sin. We must be apart of this world, but we must not conform to it. What will a life that is happy for eighty years compare to a life of eternal damnation?
Those are my two cents on Lent this year...
