The periodical Word Among Us (wau.org) states in this month's edition:
The word “Lent” comes
from the Anglo-Saxon lencten, meaning “springtime” and Lent is a time of
spiritual rebirth and renewal for Christians. The Church encourages us during
the coming forty days to the practices of prayer, fasting, almsgiving, and
works of mercy BOTH as expressions of true conversion and as a means to it.
God’s timing is so perfect!
As the assault against freedom of
religion increases in America, God provides us the necessary preparation during
Lent that we need to arm us for the battle . . . . the Christian Spring.
This Lent, let’s all take advantage of this forty days to
repent, to pray, to fast and to grow in His mercy and love.
