Lent is about becoming, doing and changing

[Gabrielle Dean]

Lent is a call to weep

for what we could have been and are not.

Lent is the grace 

to grieve for what we should have done

and did not. 

Lent is the opportunity to change what we ought 

to change but have not.

Lent is not about penance;

Lent is about becoming, 

doing and changing whatever it

is that is blocking the fullness 

of life in us right now.  

Sr Joan Chittister OSB
