“Even before Ash Wednesday, our lifestyle was rather Lenten. A kind of full-time fasting: vigilance when we’d like to rest, discipline when we’d like to indulge.”
Remembering the deceased is an act of hope. Sharing our faith and experiences together can pull us out of the darkness and into the beauty of Jesus’ life.
Becoming a Christian is like the process of moving from childhood to adulthood. The realities of both are much more complex than the caricatures presented to us.
During Lent, we work to move with more determination toward our place of ultimate belonging. We have heard stories of that kingdom that cannot be un-heard.
A faithful response to God’s call to evangelize is to sharpen our faces and our communities like flint—not as weapons, but as tools of creation and sustainability.
