These last days of February have me thinking about warmer weather, green grass, and less wind. My heart is filled with anticipation as we experience some nice days while realizing that there still could be a lot of snow between now and summer. It has snowed the last two years on Mother’s Day. I am okay with it if we discontinue that tradition this year.
As we approach the Third Sunday of Lent, we can look more and more intently at our journey toward the Paschal Triduum. Will we experience the abundance of new life promised by the Savior? Will the power of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ transform our lives? The days of Lent are quickly passing by. Are you making the most of these days? Are you closer to God now than you were on Ash Wednesday?
Our lives can be very busy. We can fill up our days with a lot of activity. How much quiet time have you spent with the Lord since Lent began? Please don’t miss the opportunity to grow in holiness. Embrace the disciplines of Lent. Look forward with eager anticipation to the Light of Christ which we will celebrate profoundly at the Easter Vigil.
