Question of the Week: What Does Lent Mean To You?

Ash Wednesday, February 22, begins the season of Lent, forty days, excluding Sundays, prior to Easter. Ordinary days of Lent and Holy Week are days of special devotion for Episcopalians (Book of Common Prayer, page 17). Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are the Church’s only stated fasts. But what does Lent mean to you? Is it a season of renewal? Is it a time to work on your spiritual life? Is it a just like any other season, with little importance? Why does it matter–or not–to you?
