It’s Resurrection Season, so this will be my last post about Lent for about a year. However, I would be remiss to not recount two things I learned from the season.
1. We give things up for Lent because it leads us to Easter. Rather than indulging in what me missed during our fast, we seek to find this small part of our life resurrected. We give up what controls us through Lent so we can be free of it come Easter.
2. I failed at Lent, in a deep fundamental way. Posting on this site, Facebook and elsewhere what I had given up is a direct contradiction of Christ’s words on fasting. This cheapened my fast and misled others. My apologies.
