At times Lent is the brightest, most pure and warming place a man can find himself in. Other times it is merely some cold and abstract notion which less busy people seem to be doing in a church building far away. What really happens to a life when it adds a few more prayers at home, travels to church a few more times, and gives just a little bit of money to the poor? I don't have any idea, really. Though these ideas do appeal to me, at least intellectually. I think that my philosophy of Lent-at least for this particular season- is simply: do what you're told.
