LentenReflections

Erin and I bought a little Catholic devotion book to guide us on the journey through Lent this year. It's been great to stop in the morning and contemplate death, fasting, sorrow, and the hope of resurrection and new life...

We offer up our lives, God, in entirety. We bury ourselves as seeds - breathless that you will take the potential and raise up new life, new hope, and a new vision. We are broken, selfish, and surrounded by pain. But you in your goodness and love have taken out our hearts of stone and replaced them with hearts of flesh. Take these 40 days and guide us to your embrace.

Thanks for the insights. It is so cool to be able to prepare for Easter with Lent - makes it so much more meaningful. Doug H.
