You have seen a hand, a foot, or perhaps a head severed from its body and lying some distance away. Such is the state a man brings himself to-as far as he is able-when he refuses to accept what befalls him, breaks away from helping others, or when he pursues self-seeking action. He becomes an outcast from the unity of Nature; though born of it, his own hand has cut him from it. Yet here is the beautiful proviso: it lies within everyone's power to join Nature once again. God has not granted such favor to any other part of creation: once you have been separated, once you have been cleft asunder, He will, at any moment, allow you to return. -- Marcus Aurelius

Yesterday's readings dealt heavily with the sacrament of Baptism, and the Gospel has Jesus saying, "Repent and believe in the Gospel."

Question: Why does the Church give us readings about baptism, when we don't usually give baptisms during Lent?
