Lent

Lent will soon be over. At the end of it, I will be confirmed as a Catholic. Themes that have come up during Lent this year have been not judging others harshly, praying even for those we consider enemies and praying for what we want rather than complaining. With these goals in mind, I have not been doing very well.

The question of what Jesus would do in a given situation has rarely crossed my mind. The promises I made at the start of Lent have not been kept. It would be all too easy to look at this Lent as a failure. That, however, is not the case. The experience has taught me a lot about myself and has helped me to accept that there are things I need to work on. It is with this knowledge that I will make my confirmation vows.
