Lent has been going on for weeks now....I read something very inspiring this morning written by my Baptismal Saint, Saint Peter Chrysologus. Here it is:
"There are three things, my brethren, by which faith stands firm, devotion remains constant, and virtue endures. They are prayer, fasting and mercy. Prayer knocks at the door, fasting obtains, mercy receives. Prayer, mercy and fasting: these three are one, and they give life to each other."
