If we were… Lent would be

If we were… Lent would be

-If we were automobiles, Lent would be the time to change the oil and tune up the engine.

-If we were gardens, Lent would be the time to fertilize our land and pull out weeds.

-If we were carpets, Lent would be the time to give them a good vacuum cleaning or a good shake.

-If we were batteries (batteries), Lent would be time to recharge them.

But we are none of these four things:

-We are people who, perhaps, have often done bad things and we need to repent of them. Hence the need to make a good confession.

-We are people who often let ourselves be carried away by our selfishness and, therefore, we need to start thinking about others. Hence the need for alms.

-We are people who often lose sight of the purpose for which we were created by God.
So we need to recover our sight. Hence the need for prayer.
