It’s Ash Wednesday morning. Lent has officially begun.

As is usual at this time of year, lots of Catholic bloggers are giving up blogging and reading blogs for Lent, usually because they think they’ve let it get a little out of hand. That is, they are giving up something that they think may have become a problem for them. The thing to remember is that blogging and blog-reading are good things—the problem is when we become excessively attached to them.

All this is by way of saying that although I expect to continue blogging through Lent, I am planning to give up reading blogs for Lent. (Except, possibly, on Sundays; Sundays are feast days, even in Lent.)

See you after Easter!
