Lent

I'm a little late in this, but I decided this weekend to give up social media during the weeks leading up to Easter (you can read a nice explanation of Lent below). So, in an effort to focus on what this time means, no blogging, facebook, or twitter for Robert until April 5.

Lent offers us all a very special opportunity to grow in our relationship with God and to deepen our commitment to a way of life, rooted in our baptism. In our busy world, Lent provides us with an opportunity to reflect upon our patterns, to pray more deeply, experience sorrow for what we've done and failed to do, and to be generous to those in need.
