	Catholic Culture : Liturgical Year : Spirit of Lent, The (Activity)
		The great acts of the liturgy during Lent take place in the parish church, and the family members will, of course, take the diocesan and parish programming as their basic guide for the observance of Lent.
		The challenge is to observe the spirit and works of Lent ourselves while living in a secular culture, to remain in the world but "not of it."
		Lent is the period of the Church's purification and is at the same time preeminently the period of personal purification.

	Citizens Changing Their Schools
		Overall in the Annenberg Challenge, approximately 2,300 schools have been funded, with the potential in 1999 alone to affect nearly 1.5 million children.
		The Challenge's broad impact is beginning to emerge in all of its projects, but especially its first six: New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, the San Francisco Bay Area, and a national consortium of rural sites.
		Yet the Challenge also advances a singular vision of good schools: schools with high standards, where all children are known well; schools with a clear vision of where they are headed and how to get there; schools with a professional climate of teacher collegiality and reflection; schools that include parents and the community as collaborators.

	CT Classic: The Challenge of the Lenten Season - Christianity Today Magazine
		When we see how the priesthood has used Lent to manipulate and exploit the faithful; when we survey the fuss and feathers it has raised over dietary prescriptions, and the way it has proclaimed its manifold regulations, specific demands, and sacrificial requirements, we are left wondering what it is all about.
		Furthermore it is certainly patent that Lent is nowhere observed as a sacred season in the New Testament; hence it must be a development of later Church tradition.
		Lent can become a time when material things are put again in their proper secondary position; when we see in the spiritual the unconquerable forces of life.

	explore faith : The Blessings and Challenges of Lent by Sarah Stockton
		We come together in Lent as a faith community to be a companion, witness, and disciple of Christ as he begins his long journey toward death and resurrection.
		Lent comes each year laden with the memories, teachings, assumptions, and wisdom that each of us has accumulated over the years of our church experience.
		The challenge of Lent is to find a way to make it a vital, living, immediate experience of the life of Christ and our connection to that life, in all that it both asks and promises.

	Lent: A History, its Precept, and a Challenge
		The period of Lent may have been said to be forty days, but in actual fact it could have been more or less.
		For example, one of the steeples of the Cathedral of Rouen was known as the "Butter Tower" because it was built using the proceeds from donations of those who benefited from the exception.
		At the every least, this level should be a level of mortification for Lent and throughout the year.

	Giving it up for lent
		Lent is, then, the rarest of things: a truly counter-cultural time in our yearly cycle, which helps us, if we wish, to introduce a subversive, ascetic element into our lives of plenty.
		I gave up meat last Lent but apart from the personal satisfaction of being able to muster the will power for the act, I'm not sure I got as much out of it as I have out of a good C S Lewis or G K Chesterton book.
		As Kathy Galloway has commented: 'to live in poverty is to live permanently in Lent.' It's therefore a shame that Brian missed off his resource list Church Action on Poverty's challenge to live off the equivalent of the National Minimum Wage (£4.85 an hour) for Lent.

		Every Lent we face up to the struggle to acknowledge who we really are and the continuing battles with the powers and principalities in our lives and history that prevent us-not entirely against our will-from actualizing our true identities.
		Lent’s challenge is to leave behind what no longer gives life, to maintain and support what does give life, to consider what new life God has for you.
		Lent is a time to live the challenging questions of self examination and penance, “acts of making whole, repairing damage done, growing in grace and living into who we really are.”

		Lent is an invitation to let God hug us, hold us, and grace our lives with joy and peace -- "sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything."
		Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in.
		Lent is more like a feast than a fast, not a season to hate one's failures but a time to feel and know and live out of God's inexhaustible love for us and every earthborn creature.

		Originally, Lent was the time of preparation for those who were to be baptized, a time of concentrated study and prayer before their baptism at the Easter Vigil, the celebration of the Resurrection of the Lord early on Easter Sunday.
		Lent is a time people start to think about the fact that Jesus died a horrible death, major sacrifice, so we can have life in all its fullness.

		If we were really doing our job as Christians, our society might well object to us keeping Lent, Easter and Pentecost well, for it should motivate us to preach the Gospel in every corner of our lives and thus confront many of the established powers and structures of our society.
		Several practices came together to form Lent during the fourth century: the prepaschal feast grew to 40 days, initiation structures developed and included final weeks of intense preparation before baptism at the Easter Vigil, many churches began reconciling penitents at Easter, making Lent the time for completing penance.
		Thus, what came out of the Council was that Lent once again became marked with two themes: baptismal and penitential with the stress that penance should be not only inward and individual but also outward and social.

	FEELING BAD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I started with the section in our hymnal that has hymns related to the season of Lent, since this is after all the first Sunday in Lent, and I can at least say that what I originally had in mind was something that was, you might say, traditionally Lenten in character.
		Just because I come to Lent this year with a kind of a serious spirit, my need is not to be reminded of that side of myself but to be lifted somehow beyond myself, to be given the ability to transcend what weighs on me. My need is to be comforted.
		The call, the challenge of Lent, this year especially, it seems to me, is to find ways to be and things to do that are life-affirming in spite of and in the face of and in direct opposition to those things that weigh us down and that are life-denying.

		In line with telling the secondary school pupils at assemblies about the Lent Challenge, I read out some statistics someone had emailed me a while ago.
		This feels okay because the Lent Action is a temporary thing for me, but I think it would feel awkward if I were truly on the minimum wage.

		Lent can be a holy time because it provides us, when we allow it to do so, with special opportunities for God to work his holy work in us.
		For that reason, the liturgy of Lent urges us to a deeper kind of self reflection than we usually practice.
		Our problem is not in the admission of the terrible state of the world (who could deny it?) but in our faith that God can and really will remake our broken world.
