The annual spiritual journey of Lent is time of reflection, renewal and rebirth. It involves self denial, fasting, and penance, but it also involves meditation and spiritual growth. The individual should not just see it as a time on the calendar to give up random things because one’s family does, but to find time to improve or in some cases regrow spiritual connection with Christ. It is a time to be reflect on Christ’s passion and to take up one’s own cross with the promise of resurrection.
