Did you go into Lent with good intentions, but then human weakness prevailed? Did you put off making any Lenten goals at all, and now we’re three days from Easter? Did the very thought of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving make you cling to worldliness and comfort? If somewhere inside you want to draw closer to God and you want to become the person He made you to be, then have no fear. As long as you draw breath, it is never too late to begin again to prepare for Jesus.

Lent, with its 40-day design, is an ideal time to grow in virtue, especially the virtue of self-sacrifice.  Through each year’s Lenten journey, we’re called to grow closer to Christ and to increase in virtue.
