Fr. Alexander Schmemann: The purpose of Lent


 The purpose of Lent is not to force on us a few formal obligations, but to "soften" our heart so that it may open itself to the realities of the spirit, to experience the hidden "thirst and hunger" for communion with God.
+Fr. Alexander Schmemann, from Great Lent, chapter 2.
