Lent is traditionally a time of repentance, prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. The idea being not to focus on oneself, as is so often the case, but to cause one to reflect more on Christ, the Lord. I know it is something we should always do, but I don't, and I daresay no one can. <BR/><BR/>Yet I believe some degree of self denial does help me in my focus. So that is why I do this, not for any personal piety or reward. I know it sounds weird, but when I remember to fast during this time, it gives me pause to reflect on Christ's mission, passion, death, and resurrection.Scottius Maximushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497918826005463738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215722.post-1141227203767162582006-03-01T09:33:00.000-06:002006-03-01T09:33:00.000-06:00Because lent is not a focal point of the churches ...Because lent is not a focal point of the churches in which I was raised, I never really gave Fat Tuesday much thought until the last few years.
