Season of Kalema – Lent

Kalema – Lent is a time to look within….
“I could not turn back the time for the political change, but there is still time to save our heritage. You must remember never to cease to act because you fear you may fail. The way to lose any earthly kingdom is to be inflexible, intolerant and prejudicial. Another way is to be too flexible, tolerant of too many wrongs and without judgment at all. It’s a razor’s edge, it is the width of a blade of pili grass. To gain the kingdom of heaven is to hear what is not said, to see what is not seen, and to know the unknowable. That is aloha.” – Queen Liliʻuokalani
Lent is a period of 40 days during which many Christians remember the events leading up to and including the death of Jesus Christ, whose life and teachings are the foundation of Christianity.
The 40-day period is called Lent after an old English word meaning ‘lengthen’.
This is because of the time of year when it happens, as this is when the days start to get longer, as we approach Summer.
It is a time of reflection and of asking for forgiveness, and when Christians prepare to celebrate Jesus’s resurrection at the feast of Easter, which comes at the very end of Lent.
