Many of us have lived our lives in a busy, goal-oriented world, hearing the message, “don’t slow down, or you’ll lose your edge.” The COVID world has slowed us down and filled our inner ear with messages of failure. During Lent, we can ask God to speak to us of the good things in our lives. The built-in message of Lent is that Christ died and rose for us. Let us pray that we hear that message clearly and that through God’s grace we can become attuned to other good things in our life each day.
