"Lent
is meant to be a time of slowing down, of reflection, of fasting - getting out
of our normal routine for 40 days. As a penitential season, it’s often thought
of as grave, serious, dark. But what if we see that darkness as the cloud of
God enveloping us; as God quieting us to tell us about God’s beloved?"
