Happy Lent / Ten sins or fewer

10 sins or fewer alt jpg “Happy Lent” I said to our choir director, “or is that the wrong greeting?”

His response: “I guess that it depends on how many sins you have…” left me wondering: I wonder whether Lent would be happier if you have few or many sins?  On one hand, having many sins would lead me to have a more penitent lent, and having few would leave me with only light penitence.  On the other hand, having many sins forgiven, I would have great gratitude.

 Luke 7:47 (ESV)  Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven—for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
