The Lenten journey has begun. It’s a season marked by many spiritual disciplines: prayer, soul searching, Bible and devotional readings, discernment, confession, and even sacrifice. The observance of Lent eventually leads us to the cross and its implications for our lives as Christians. A meaningful Lenten observance doesn't just happen; it’s hard work that requires practicing daily spiritual disciplines.
As the Ash Wednesday liturgy says, “I wish you a holy Lent.” Now it’s up to each of us to make it so. It would be helpful to ask each day during this season, "What will I do today to deepen my faith and gain greater clarity of God's purposes for my life?" To ask such a question can be life changing. But then, isn't that what the season of Lent is about?
