Lenten Advice

"The true progress of man lieth in self-denial, and a man who denieth himself is free and safe. But the old enemy, opposer of all good things, ceaseth not from temptation; but day and night setteth his wicked snares, if haply he may be able to entrap the unwary. Watch and pray, saith the Lord, lest ye enter into temptation (Matthew xxvi. 41)."

-Thomas a Kempis, The Imitation of Christ, Book III, Chapter XXXIX
