Today is the first Sunday of Lent, and the theme was the number 40.
It rained 40 days and nights before Noah's ark set down, and God created the rainbow as a covenant that he would not flood the Earth again.
Moses found the Israelites worshiping the Golden Calf, so as punishment they were made to wander for 40 years in the desert.
Jesus went into the desert for 40 days, and was tempted by Satan.
Lent is 40 days long, a period during which we prepare for Easter through fasting, almsgiving, and prayer.
Tomorrow I will go to confession.
