Let nothing disturb you, let nothing frighten you
All things are passing, God alone never changes
Patient endurance attains all things,
Whoever has God wants for nothing,
God Alone Suffices -St Teresa of Avila |

As of tomorrow, it will be Lent for all. According to the Roman rite, this has already begun with Ash Wednesday, while according to the Ambrosian rite used in the archdiocese of Milan, which observes an older calendar, this dynamic period of the liturgical year begins on the sixth Sunday before Easter.
