Im just coming in from an energizing walk. I must say, with the weather still nearly, freezing, Easter feels months away, and Lent feels surreal. Even with Easter being late this year, the cold weather makes it difficult for me to feel the Spring like, feelings, that are associated with the Easter Season.
As the seasons begin to change, we too, must change. We must change our clothing, by adding or subtracting layers. We must change our routines, as we adjust to the rising and setting of the sun.
Most importantly, as Lent is upon us, we must also change our heart. Lent should be a time for us to become better, rather than a simple routine for another holiday.
My heart is full with an overflow of emotion, as I look forward to all of the change that will come into my life, over the upcoming months.
I am not only exicted about my personal life changes, I am excited about the Woman of God that I am becoming.
This Lenten Season, I anticipate major growth. Change is necessary in order to grow; I welcome all of the change God has for me. Changing the way I think, I pray that my thoughts become more like God’s thoughts. Changing what I eat, I pray that I become healthier, physically. Changing my words and actions, I pray that I draw others to grow spiritually. All of these changes, allow me to remain on the path to my purpose.
As I prepare to begin a new week, I’m thankful for making it through another day, and I pray that my faith is strengthened. I ask that I am able to rid myself of any selfish ways I may posess, and be filled with grace and mercy, for those who are in need. God, please allow my changes to add to the mental, physical, and/or spiritual well-being of others. I pray that I remain humble in all I do. Never allow me to be the source of someone else’s pain. Amen
Pope Francis tells us that we should never condem, but show mercy to those who are sincere in their asking.
As I go beyond the church walls, I seek to show mercy to those who are broken, grieving, lonely, sick, homeless, hopeless, poor, or hurting. These are the least of my brothers; I want to become like Jesus, for them.
As together, we seek to succeed on this journey, let’s be mindful to enact change. Let’s change our heart, pray, and engage with those who appear to be on the ‘outskirts’ of life; let our work speak for itself. Together, let’s heal the world.
