Concluding this issue of EDWJ, we are on the threshold of Lent. Our readings in March and April will explore spiritual formation. Very simply, this teaches us how we mature as disciples. Many things that engaged us as children we leave behind as we turn our attention to more adult matters. The same process takes place within our spiritual life (1 Cor. 13:11) when we pay active attention to the Holy Spirit (John 16:13).
