"I experienced minute by minute the dramatic crescendo of problems in the situation and the workload on doctors, nurses and all the staff. It is an absurd Lent, but in a certain sense perfect. Jesus is in the desert for forty days, fighting with the devil. Lent is not about the beauty of custom, but the profound mystery of the evil, death and despair that exist. But also of the Lord who is there. We must recognize His presence."
