Lent: a time of spiritual battle From Archbishop Thomas Wenski

These days almost everybody knows about

Ramadan. We might not know when it

begins or ends but we know that during

Ramadan, Muslims do fast and pray. And

apparently, they do so quite intentionally

and with appropriate seriousness of purpose.

Do we Catholics approach Lent with the

same intentionally and seriousness? As members of the Church, we are a pilgrim people who, as one

prayer says, go about “mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.” Our journey through life takes

us along hills and valleys; that is, through high points and low points. Pilgrims, given the difficulties

of the trek, should travel light — without being encumbered with excess baggage. Lent, with its call

to penance and repentance, is basically an invitation to lose the excess baggage of sin and vice. The

various practices of Lent — fasting, praying, mortifications and sacrifices — are not about punishing

ourselves. Rather, by freeing us of the encumbrances of sin, they are about helping us to achieve the

freedom that can help us practice at being our own best selves; to incline ourselves to do the right

thing at the right time. Thus, Lent is a way of checking our spiritual GPS, to make sure that with all

the twists and turns of our life’s journey we are still going in the right direction. Lent reminds us

that the true purpose of life is not to seek our glory but God’s glory; a glory that is found not through

self-assertion or self-seeking or, as Pope Francis likes to say, “being self-absorbed,” but through self-

giving and self-sacrificing. Thus, Lent — which recalls Jesus' time in the desert — is a time of

combat; a time of spiritual battle against the spirit of evil. Lent assumes that we know the difference

between right and wrong, between good and evil. So Lent is not an invitation to engage in moral

arguments or debates about why something is wrong or right. Rather, it is an invitation to look at

ourselves with unflinching honesty during this special time of grace and in the light of the Gospel, to

try to figure out why we choose wrongly, and learn what we must do to choose rightly. Each year

during Lent we need to hear once more the voice of the prophets who cry out and trouble our

conscience. For example, the prophet Isaiah challenges our idea that we can make a good Lent

merely by giving up sweets or deserts. The Lord speaks through Isaiah saying: “This, rather, is the

fasting that I wish: releasing those bound unjustly, untying the thongs of the yoke; setting free the

oppressed, breaking every yoke; sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and

the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them, and not turning your back on your own.” The

catechism of the Catholic Church speaks of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy — these works

of mercy can help remind us that we are not only to avoid sin as followers of Jesus Christ; we are

also to do good.

At any rate, the traditional practices of Lent — more intense prayer, sacrifices and mortifications,

almsgiving and other acts of charity — are all about teaching us to say “NO” to ourselves so that,

freed from the slavery to our desires, we can say “YES” to God and to our neighbor in need.
