40 Acts of Lent

I am not your traditional penitent person. I have always had problems with Lent, the 40 days before Easter, the most joyous day in the Christian year.

I suspect my conflict began early, when growing up in Quebec it was important for the much smaller Protestants to clearly differentiate themselves from the overwhelmingly dominant, at least by numbers, Roman Catholics.

When all my friends talked about giving up this or that for Lent (usually involving candy) I kind of rebelled.

That attitude has stuck with me to this day.
