Training, Lent, and Me


(From Wereldburger758, via Wikimedia Commons, used w/o permission.)

Lent is a time for me to improve myself, right?

That will be a by-product of what I do, but — no. Lent isn't about me.

It's like the rest of the annual cycle of Advent, Lent Easter: we're reviewing and, in a sense, re-living what our Lord did, two millennia back now. (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1095)

Lent is when we join Jesus in the desert. Sort of.
