Lent Begins



People are used to thinking of Lent as forty days of penance and mortification in preparation for Easter. I remember reading that Lent technically is 36 days, making it approximately one-tenth of the year.There are many diverse religions that ask a ten-percent tithe of their annual income.Lent can be considered a tithing of 10% of our year back to the spirit, becoming a better person in the process. It can be a rewarding, and renewing time; a positive time of treating the world a little bit better.
Peace,
