The Lent

During my younger days Lenten season has always been a very dull week. Stores are closed, people are somewhat with a lonely look in their face, and the ambiance of the surroundings are solemn. I didn't know yet the meaning of lent during that time and traditions are what our family always follow.

Now that I have grown up and everything that surrounds me had already grown also. Developments have forced their way in through tradition and somewhat distorted the norms. People now are doing what they want during Lenten season. Yes we should know that the person hanged on that cross had already risen but we should always put in mind that the time is a time to reflect and not a time to have fun.

Let us learn the true meaning of lent and reflect what God has in store for us.
