IN ROAD TO EASTER
The time of Lent is indeed a time of penance and conversion, but the reason why we emphasize these issues is because you are preparing to celebrate Easter.
Only from this perspective it makes sense to penance and conversion! This is not to make a "diet" to "streamline" the body or to look different, it is not to give up their selfishness and the establishment of our personality on others because of weakness or inability. The reason for the journey of Lent is to enable us to accommodate the new life of the risen Christ.
Only for this reason the Christian faces difficult situations, indeed, seeks to dominate the instincts that the heritage of sin has left each of us. Let's "tabula rasa" within us, for all that brings us to break away from God and His Word in order to receive his grace, his strength that guides us and supports us in achieving a life that is not only human but is also divine.
Easter, such as participation in the Resurrection of Jesus draws us and enables us to love as Jesus loved, to forgive as Jesus
forgiven and to find in these attitudes a joy that no
can overcome and take off.
's why they make sense and justify the sacrifices that Lent offers us. And I'm not giving up our personality, are waivers for deviations of our personality.
Who has not targeted the Easter and new life that she gives us is not sensible to give up a pleasure, a pleasure. While those who wish to become free to love as Christ, they actually are able to deal with a process of conversion of heart, the will.
