Lent and conversion

Some wise words from Bishop Gregory Aymond:

Conversion is a life-long process. At the end of this Lent you and I should not expect that our personalities will be totally transformed by our prayer, fasting, almsgiving. What we would expect is that our lives will be changed in some way, as small as that may seem. I would hope that by the time Lent is over that I will have drawn closer to God, and with God's grace and strength worked on some dimension of my life that is more reflective of his love than it was on Ash Wednesday.
