Lent is the time for trimming the soul and scraping the sludge off a life turned slipshod. Lent is the time to make new efforts to be what we say we want to be. — Sister Joan Chittister, from The Rule of Benedict: Insight for the Ages

Give the extra effort today to be the person you say you want to be.
