Lent

To all of you who celebrate
and a thought for Lent...
"We blindly love the bitter things brought on from our material desires, we pursue what is passing away, we cling to what is falling. And because we can't hold on to it, we too are falling along with the things we grasp as they collapse. ...Consider the emptiness of things which pass away with time. Fix your hearts on love of what is eternal, so that when you decline to strive for earthly heights you may attain the glory you grasp by faith.
St. Gregory the Great
