00657 – The Grace of the Season of Lent

To keep Lent is to discover and remember who in heaven’s name we are, as person and community.

We pray against all confusers and confusions for our true identity and vocation. We know that means standing before the cross and making some choices.

The grace of this season is that Jesus suffers the choice with us. He’s been over the turf and is our brother exactly on that score, with us in the struggle of our hearts.Let the further grace be that we make our choice as disciples, in the mind and heart of Christ.
