Don’t let the gift of Lent slip away without
growing closer to Jesus Christ who calls us home.
Sometimes Lent seems like a series of difficult tasks that we
toil over to show our spiritual strength and endurance.
Julian of Norwich and the other mystics remind us that it’s
not about what we do, it’s about what God does.
Our Lenten practices should make room in our lives to
contemplate the great mystery of love.
If we lose sight of that, then the fasting and prayers
become empty gestures.
Diane Houdek, “The
Hope of Lent: Daily reflections from Pope Francis”
May God Be Praised!
