An Invitation from St. John of the Cross
Thus, with the guidance of John of the Cross, Lent can become a period of renewal, a period where we reorder our priorities from many things to one: God alone. We still have our work to do and obligations to fulfill, but throughout Lent we can learn to be for God alone and to find our reward in God alone.
Such an undertaking cannot be done by mere human willing; we need the help of God, which comes primarily through prayer.
