Easter Sunday is only four days away — it seems like yesterday when we started preparing for Lent. Has it really been almost 40 days since?

March 9 marks the first day of Lent for us Catholics. It signifies the beginning of forty days usually reserved for fasting, abstinence, prayer, repentance, good works and almsgiving. Lent is the time that Christians all over the world can once again reflect on the victory won on Easter Sunday.

When I was a kid growing up in Brunei, Lent usually did not mean anything special to me. Back then, all the members of our family were typical Sunday Catholics – we went to church on Sundays, prayed the occasional Rosary together, and often put God in our back pockets until we needed His help on this problem or that situation.
