Tomorrow we begin the Lenten journey of 2008.
I used to look at Lent as an imposition, way back in my younger years. It seemed like something you HAD to do to be a good Catholic.
As I have grown in my Faith I have had many Lenten seasons and a new understanding every year.
I have grown to look forward to the intensified prayer and sacrifice. I have learned to be grateful for the many, many Graces that come from walking the way of the Cross with Christ.
I am determined that this year will be a time of deeper meditation. I want to know Him so much better by Easter.
I pray that whatever you do over the next forty days, there will be moments of reflection, sacrifice and the quiet joy that comes with knowing your Savior in the deepest way.
The first station: Jesus is condemned to death.
