Lent is an important season in the Church’s liturgical year—it is the time when we take stock of where we are in our faith and prepare for the death and resurrection of our Savior. Often, we lose sight of the point of this season because we get caught up in ourselves—how hard it is to fast, how bad we are at fasting—and we end up just waiting for the season to be over at Easter. Because of this, we often arrive at Easter with our lives no different than they were on Ash Wednesday.
