It is a time during which we over -concentrate on the Cross. We realize a sense of aloneness or apartness from God. Simply stated Lent is that time of the year when we recognize, more than at any other time, that people tried to subvert God's will to make their own will supreme when they persecuted Jesus and placed him on the Cross. In a very real sense Lent has traditionally been seen as a season in which we note a return to chaos. We are reminded that all there was before God created the world, according to the Genesis ac- counts, was chaos. London: Mary and .
