Lent

Lent should not be about proving to yourself

                        (and definitely not proving to other people)

                                  how strong your will is

                                                  and how disciplined you are.

Lent is about

                clearing away attachments

so that you can more completely

attach yourself to God!   

This quote if from a blog post of one of my favorite Priests, you can see the entire post here:  http://on-this-rock.blogspot.com/

What can I clear away today in order to make more room to pray?  This is the question we will ask ourselves every day during lent this year.  It is the poster we will put up in every room, near the TV and other distractions.
