It is a matter of concern that women bloggers disappear after a while due to increasing work, family commitments and sometimes even online bullying. So to have a woman blogger get back to blogging is indeed good news and will inspire other women to keep going as well. Lent is something which can be interpreted in several ways. I hope this helps! Take care.Fr.

Lent should not be a forced act but a whole hearted and happy initiation into a change in life style so that others may also live respectfully. So this is not just about the food but about the need and the fight for justice for all.Fr.
