For forty hours Our Holy Re-
deemer lay in the tomb. sacrifice
for the sins OF the world. For
forty days He tasted In the Wild
erness IN preparation for His
ministry on earth. And now as
we approach the anniversary Of
His death upon the Cross and
His resurrection from the death
we pause for meditation and pre-
pare ourselves by fasting for the
great event OF Easter.
There Is nothing that man does
that can equal in benefits. both to
souId and body. this period Of
prayer and fasting. There Is no
thing In life that can make him
realize more clearly the self-den-
ial of OUR Holy Savior than the
full observance Of Lent.
And 1t Is so little for any Of
us to do. In simple self-denial
we are walking the path with
One who denied all. even life
itself. BY limiting our human APP
petites we are sitting with One
who kneeled in agony In Geth-
semane and prayed.
We are happy. comfortable. Sc
cure in the blessing that He
obtained for us by His death. We
have orderly government because
He taught love Of our neighbor.
We have opportunity because He
offered Himself for our sins.
Our church does not ask too
much of US when it asks us to
dedicate the period we are in to
the consideration OF our sins. 1t
does not ask too much when 1t
asks that we prepare ourselves
for the great event that we call
Easter.
Let us use this period of Lent
that started February II, for the
welfare of our souls. Let us give
our hearts in prayer even as we
observe the Lenten customs. Let
us strive to remove all hartred
and envy from our hearts and
minds and take our mistakes and
our troubles to our one great re-
fuge in time Of trouble. As the
Catholic Foresters. let's us keep
the Lenten season so that when
we repair to the Holy Church for
our Easter duty. we will go with
clean hearts and pure souls that
we may truly honor Him whom
we commemorate.
