The Lent season is not seasonal
Recently I posted about the moderation and being genuine in prayer and fasting during Lent season. Someone who is going to convert into Islam replied the post arrogantly, saying that it was pitiful as the act of kindness for Catholics is only during that time. (The person also opposed the Valentine's day similarly to other typical muslims).
Lent, is a season to commemorate the temptation that Jesus had when he was in desert, able to handle it for his trust and faith in God's. For us, it is one of the special periods where we want to be in moderation and forbid ourselves from indulging in something against the God's will. But, it does not mean that it is just limited during that time. Catholics are loving each other all along the year.
Just because the person has no knowledge or refuse to learn the original religion, it does not permit one to lambasted so called intelligent comment based on his/her ignorant perspective, that's being unfair and foolish.
For public's knowledge, Catholic reminds the congregants the god's life story through the gospels, feasts, celebrations and etc- All year long!!. From it, we learn how to be better person- how to be less evil, to be slightly thankful, to be a little bit more faithful, for those who are in sorrow will feel relieved, for those who are poor will be strong, to be scared less in facing death and we slowly believing that the doors of heaven are opened for us.
The church has always remind us that we are sinful, I too agree that I can't be 100 per cent holy, but I am busy wanting the God and sweet angels to accept me in heaven.
But why those who convert to Islam, and have no idea about Christianity, busy doing judgment about us? I hope insulting other religion is not the prerequisite to embrace their religion.
