What Can Sts. Perpetua & Felicity Teach Us About Lent?

Today is the Feast Day of these two early Saints and Catholic Exchange has the above article posted.  I like this quote and think it is appropriate for all Catholics today:

"Before she met a martyr’s death St. Perpetua sought to strengthen her brothers by telling them: “Stand fast in the faith, and love one another. Do not let our sufferings be a stumbling block to you.”
