LENTEN SEASON
|
Bending our knees should go along with mending our hearts. Lent is a time to mend our hearts and thereby our thoughts, our ways, our relationships and our actions. In this way lent performs the cleaning and changing of what is unjust to the ordinary people of God. Every individual thus comes under the responsibility of mending his/her heart so that God’s just plans are initiated in the world and continued for the benefit of all. Mending our hearts then calls for a change of what we usually call the fast life.
As we bend our knees and mend our hearts, we should not forget to lend our hands to the needy. For these three should go along together. Lending what we have acquired and saved and what we have set apart completes the great lent. By lending our hands we are able to share our good destinies to those who have skewed destinies because of the luxurious lives we live. Our sacrifices is not a sacrifice but a just sharing of the resources we have all received freely and graciously from God. God so loved us, that He sent His only begotten Son to die for us, so that our sins maybe forgiven. May this Lenten season help us to bend, mend and lend for our brothers and sisters according to the will of God. May God be always with us as we struggle to fulfill a meaningful Lenten season. |
