One of my old college roommates, Evan, has a blog of his own called Nator's Revolution (you can also access it in my links Sidebar). In his most recent post, he shares his enlightenment on our disconnectedness from God at times. It challenged me to think about what the Lenten Season expects of us.
It is my understanding that Lent calls for us to recognize the disconnect of our soul. Christ's journey in the Gospels creates for us an inherent disconnect from the world in order that our soul may be nourished. I don't think that this time is meant to be the mountain top experience, although there is a progression toward that the closer we get to Easter Sunday. Maybe the paradox in Lent is that our identification with Christ even though we are living, it feels more like death. It is through this, that our faith breaks forth like the dawn.
