I came across this thoughtful meditation on Lent...
"Lent is a journey, a pilgrimage! Yet, as we begin it, as
we make the first step into the ‘bright sadness’ of
Lent, we see – far away – the destination. It is the joy
of Easter; it is the entrance into the glory of the
Kingdom. And it is the vision, the foretaste of Easter,
that make Lent’s sadness bright and our Lenten effort a
‘spiritual spring.’” Fr. Alexander Schememann, Great Lent

Today I also started receiving a daily Lent devotional email from CRM, a ministry that includes InnerCHANGE and NieuCommunities. You can check it out and sign-up here: http://www.crmleaders.org/lent
