“Lent is the shadow the Cross makes on the world in the
light of the Resurrection”.
Traditionally Lent is a time for reflection and commitment.
These questions are designed to be used as springboards for your personal
journaling. Attempt to write an answer to one question a day and also try to
write a prayer a day as a response to your own journaling (you get Sundays
off). If you feel a question does not apply to you or you are unwilling or
unable to answer it, journal about why this is so.
