First Sunday of Lent
March 13, 2011
“The liturgical year is an adventure in bringing the Christian life to fullness, the heart to alert, the soul to focus. It does not concern itself with the questions of how to make a living. It concerns itself with the questions of how to make a life.”
“Turn away from sin and be faithful to the Gospel.”
“Remember, man, you are dust and to dust you will return.”
“Be merciful, O Lord, for we have sinned.”
We begin Lent with these powerful words. This stuff does not suggest spring to me. He created us. Told us not to sin, but knew we would. I do not get it.
In our own time, in places that we fear; this moment of quiet despair enters our hearts. Our soul reckons with deaths embrace, alone with God as our counsel. Jesus, your death and resurrection is our hope.
To you it is a venial sin; to me it is a pork chop.
Q
What is the difference between politics and sin?
A
Location, location, location
Without Resurrection, all seems lost.
Focus on the Eucharist.
