What if this was your last Lent? It may be, so make it count! Love Lent and deepen your appreciation for it. Lent is a time to practice loving God more than self; a time to place neighbor before self; a time to love soul more than body. Man has the ability to merit by his sufferings because he has a body. Thus, Lent is a time to voluntarily embrace all our crosses, that we not be caught off guard by anything the world, flesh and the devil might throw in our path. If we flee from the cross, then we shall be crushed by it. Yet if we pray to love our cross, it will become sweet. To suffer lovingly is to suffer no longer. Verily, there is no happiness but in the cross. Lent is all about charity, the Love of God. When charity is put in order, our hearts and wills are perfected and then — despite all agonizing trials and temptations during this great Passion of the Church — we will conquer victoriously.
