Kivonat
Lent is not just a Christian ritual but a time for everyone to pause and reflect on their lives. It encourages introspection, connection with others, and slowing down to evaluate personal needs. Sacrifice should be meaningful and tied to one's spiritual journey, rather than mere adherence to rules. Giving up overscheduling, lack of connectedness, or clutter can lead to a more balanced life. Additionally, taking on service projects or volunteering can enhance the Lenten experience by fostering solidarity with others.
