The following Lenten reflection (lightly edited) was written by Father Ray Guthrie, pastor of St. Francis de Sales Parish in Lake Geneva, Wis. Thanks to Father Ray for allowing me to publish his reflection in my column.

During Lent the season of repentance, which is a word that many know means to turn away from, calls us through prayer, fasting and almsgiving to turn away from the distortions and corruption as the world presents life to the light of Christ. For in Jesus we look at the world and life from the broader picture of how and why God created us and gave us dominion over all the world. Rather than from the narrow and simplistic image that the world prefers we use in solving the issues and problems of life.
