"And on Easter morning, when the grave is broken and the fast is ended, we will find that we have not been diminished by our hunger, but strengthened—made ready to feast at last in the joy of the risen King."
Excellent article! The only thing I'd say is that Lent isn't just a season of removing things (though it is that), but its also a season in which we're asked to put things on, specifically prayer. It's a season of fasting & prayer that is meant to set the heart towards Christ.
Phew! What a quote. Thanks for this reminder.
