From Huffington-
Every year, the church reminds us to observe an intentional season of introspection during the season of Lent. Ash Wednesday follows Fat Tuesday and launches this season, urging Christians to engage self-regulation. It invites personal responsibility to partner and dance with corporate responsibility.
Without this bridge in society, we become all too easily a community that depends solely on entitlements where every problem becomes someone else's responsibility. This attitude has most consequence in the area of taking care of the needs of our neighbors locally and globally, especially in these difficult economic times. We are invited to be bridge builders who identify social problems and find ways to address them. I like to think of this as prophetic action that goes beyond demonstration. Lent can be a season of action-reflection.
