Catholic Culture : Library : Why We Need Lent [del.icio.us]

Why we need lent, an excellent read from a modern day man that has a mastery of language and knowledge. Lent isn't about dieting or eating good seafood, it is about santification.

The reason for the season of lent. A time of calling to conversion for all of us. We are strengthened for these 40 days so that we can prepare for temptation by learning to deal with it through self-sacrifice and denial of passions that are sanctified to give glory to God. This is the story of the Curt Jester, a famous Catholic blogger and former atheist.

The Pope of Christian unity is doing much work. Welcome home. I imagine that Sts. Thomas More, Edmund Campion and Blessed John Henry Newman have played a hand in this.
This lent is special for them as these people and many others come home to the Universal Church. For those of us already in the Church we must remember that this is a time of deepening our own personal conversion through prayer and fasting.
