By Cole DeSantis, Rhode Island Catholic Correspondent - PROVIDENCE — Lent is a liturgical season filled with anticipation. As the Church prepares for Easter, the most important holy day in the Church calendar, the faithful prepare to reflect upon and celebrate that which is the source of renewed life. They are called to see their own life as a microcosm of God’s Plan of salvation: the human race fell into sin and death, which was overturned by Christ; likewise, each individual is struggling with sin in their own life, and the more they, by God’s grace, grow in union with God, the more they partake in new life in Christ.
