it's a time of deep spiritual reflection on God's love and His sacrifice through His Son Jesus Christ to save us from sin and its punishment and to give us eternal life to those who will believe.

Lent is intended to be a time of spiritual reflection on the sacrifice of Christ, and preparation for the celebration of Easter.

The forty-day period is symbolic of the forty days spent by Jesus in the wilderness and possibly the forty hours he spent entombed, though the fasting aspect of modern Lent does tend to support the former more than the latter.
