Lenten Reflection, Commitment, Repentance

Lent Lived After the Ashes

Social scientists say it takes 28 days to change
a habit.  Lent asks us to change more than
a habit.  We're invited to change more
than a habit.  We're invited to
change our priorities and
focus of our lives.
Maybe that's why
Lent takes a full
40 days and
happens
every
year
