During Lent we must endeavor to regain the beauty of the image of God given to us by our baptism
Let us purify the soul by the confession of our sins, by compunction of heart, by the love of God; and let us give back its dignity to the body, by making it bear the yoke of penance, that so it may be, henceforth, subservient and docile to the soul, and, on the day of the general resurrection, partake in her endless bliss.
