Jesus did not come to abolish the law, but to fulfill the law. We are not to meant to carry out the law by going through the motions or by following all of the rules.
We fulfill the law through Jesus' love. We must love one another and share this love with others, so on this day of Lent, let us show love to those we encounter and let all of our actions be out of love for our family, friends, neighbors, strangers, and even our enemies. When we obey the law out of love and our actions are out of love for our fellow brothers as Jesus taught, then we are truly accompanying Jesus as we journey these 40 days in the desert.
