So many things seem to have gone badly for me this past year and I am terribly in the dark again. If Advent is the beginning of the Church’s year, then Lent is a new beginning. A reflection by Edna Hong has put me in the mood and am looking forward to Lent this year as I have to no other.
“I have found only one religion that dares to go down with me into the depth of myself,” wrote G. K. Chesterton. And it is true. No other religion dares to take me down to the new beginning. Hence Lent is not a tediously long brooding over sin. Lent is a journey that could be called an upward descent, but I prefer to call it a downward ascent. lt ends before the cross, where we stand in the white light of a new beginning.”
