In the novel of life, Lent is the rising action of the plot in which our will is tested and tried. We become like our favorite fictional characters when we willingly (or unwillingly) enter through this purgatorial portal and into the great story that Our Creator has penned with his life-giving fingertips. Of course, we already know the ending, but in an act of free will, God allows us to turn the pages and choose our own adventures. Our story, then, is in our journey.
