Lent is fast approaching. I came across this article that I found beneficial. It is about knowing oneself before God while doing penance. The devil can use our self-delusions to drive a wedge at the very time we are seeking God. I know I have found this to be so.
Lent: Knowing who we are before God - Catholic Online: “In his homily during Mass at Warsaw’s Pi’lsudzki Square last May 26, Pope Benedict XVI said: “Faith does not mean accepting a certain number of abstract truths about the mysteries of God, of man, of life and death, of future realities. Faith consists in an intimate relationship with Christ, a relationship based on love of him who loved us first [cf. 1 Jn 4:11], even to the total offering of himself.” “

I’m working on compiling my Lenten pages in a good resource for my blog. I’m hoping to go through them in a week or so and really plan out my Lent. I really want it to be penitential with not just mandatory but also optional fasting.
