The Fourth Week of Lent
The 4th Week of Lent – three weeks to go until
Easter! How is your Lent coming? Are those Lenten resolutions still
strong? Have you journeyed into the
desert with Christ to truly hear what God is saying to you?
Every year I realize more and more that Lent is truly
about Baptism – a preparation time for those preparing for Baptism and a
retreat time for those of us who have been baptized a long time. What are we being asked because of our
Baptism? We are being asked to share in
the mission of Christ to build the kingdom of God here and now. To take care of the poor, to work for
justice, to be stewards of the earth, to build community.
Over the past four weeks Sister Geri and I have been
traveling to the small towns of the Owensboro, KY, diocese offering Lenten
times of reflection and retreats for those persons in the RCIA (Rite of
Christian Initiation of Adults) who are preparing to celebrate the Sacraments
of Initiation at the Easter Vigil. As we
see spiritual growth important to so many there is such hope as more and more
people live their baptismal commitment.
God bless!
