Durante mi segundo año como profesora de educación religiosa, la clase de sexto grado se reunía los domingos por la noche. Una vez, en la noche del domingo inmediatamente después del Miércoles de Ceniza, una alumna me preguntó: "¿Qué pasa si ya has comido lo que has dejado para la Cuaresma?"

During my second year of teaching religious education, my sixth-grade class met on Sunday nights. One time on the Sunday night immediately following Ash Wednesday, a student asked me “What if you already ate what you gave up for Lent?” It seems she had given up chocolate, but forgot. I chuckled and then told her that she should not eat any more chocolate for the rest of Lent. Sometimes we might make a mistake during Lent and this might lead to giving up on what we had started. This mindset might also lead us to avoid challenging ourselves during Lent because it might be too difficult.
