Lent quote by Joan Chittister

March 3, 2012 By Jean Wise


Lent is not a ritual.

It is time given to think seriously about who Jesus is for us, to renew our faith from the inside out.  

It is the moment when, as the baptismal waters flow on every Easter Vigil altar, we return to the baptismal font of the heart to say yes once more to the call of Jesus to the disciples, 
“Come and see” ( John 1:39).

It is the act of beginning our spiritual life all over again refreshed and reoriented.

Joan Chittister
