Lent

What is Lent?  Lent is the opportunity to change what we ought to change but have not...Lent is about becoming, doing and changing whatever it is that is blocking the fullness of life in us right now... Lent is a summons to live anew...Lent is the time to let life in again, to rebuild the worlds we've allowed to go sterile, to "fast and weep and mourn" for the goods we've foregone. If our own lives are not to die from lack of nourishment, we must sacrifice the pride or the sloth or the listlessness that blocks us from beginning again. Then, as

Lent
 Joel (2:12-18) promises, God will have pity on us and pour into our hearts the life we know down deep that we are lacking

February 18, 2015 marks the beginning of the Lent season. Lent gives us an opportunity to get rid of the old (garbage) and welcome the new (Grace of God).
While fasting this is the perfect time to reprogram our thoughts.  We might have to eliminate some people, places and terrible habits. Why not ?  If it's not working for your highest good and greatest joy it must go.  Got to go! Got to go !

The message from Pope Francis this year for lent
“This initiative is to let people know that it is never too late and there is always a way back,”  God's Grace.

This week I decided to Pray about relationships in our lives.  God's intention for all is to live in Love and Peace.  Sometimes we need to alter, change or eliminate to make God's purpose for life work for our highest good.
