Lent began on Ash Wednesday, so today I ask you to reflect on two “Privileged Places” we have been granted to deepen our awareness, our love and our knowledge of Jesus Christ during this time of preparation for our Easter celebration.
To appreciate those “Privileged Places” we should admit that we are sinners, not bad people, but sinners, nonetheless.
1. THE GOSPELS – MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE and JOHN
AND,
2. THE MYSTERY OF CHRIST IN THE EUCHARIST!
This Lent read one or all four Gospels and each week spend some time, even if it is 3 minutes or 5 minutes before the Blessed Sacrament – in AWE and THANKSGIVING!
If you do that along with whatever Lenten practices you ordinarily do (Stations of the Cross, a Lenten retreat, Operation Rice Bowl, the rosary, etc.) – your Lent will deepen your love of God and your awareness of God’s love for you.
Lent is a gift for our spiritual growth, let’s take full advantage of the time we have to grow.
May God Be Praised.
