Letting Go During Lent

When Lent began, I felt strongly that I wanted to work on focusing on the Lord, and what He wanted from me, and how best I can be the person that he made me to be. I had a strong feeling that through praying, including the Rosary every day (almost), I would be led on a path which would allow me to continue to grow closer to Jesus. Never did I know that I would find the answer in letting go. I hate to be vague, but that is about as specific as I can get right now. I've had to let go of a relationship that was having a negative effect on my faith, giving me very angry, almost hateful thoughts. I have no doubt that all of this came full circle during Lent for a reason, and I have gotten many signs that letting go was the best thing. I feel so much peace now, and I've had conversations with my priests about this, and gone to Reconciliation. And, of course, I prayed and spent a lot of quiet time with God. I am left with one thought that I read in The Little Black Book, which is our Lenten book.

"Lent is when I plunge in and try to experience who I am as a baptized follower of Christ, and to enjoy the exhilaration of clearing away things that come between me and God."
