Lent is a penitential season and, therefore, a season of sacrifice. We accompany Jesus in the desert and to the Cross by offering our small sacrifices, such as, giving up foods we enjoy, adding extra prayer to our daily routine, fasting, etc., for the 40 days of Lent. Sacrifice is a theme we see in the Bible. Sacrifice is a means to lead us to conform to God’s will and thereby make us holy.
The story of Abraham preparing to sacrifice his son Isaac in obedience to God’s command moves us to the edge of our seat until the moment when God’s angel stops the slaughter. Then we feel relieved to witness a happy ending to the story.
