Lent is a time to revive kindness
Itâs a necessary ingredient of apostolic mission

I need to be kind despite the attitude of others if I am to fulfill my apostolic mission to bring Jesus to the world. " NORTH BEND While Lent has changed over the years, the purpose has always been the same: self-examination and penitence, demonstrated by self-denial, in preparation for Easter.
Self-examination can be hard. It’s much easier to find fault in others than in ourselves. I know I can easily get caught up in the “at least I’m better than” attitude.
