Lent is a time for letting go of the distractions. Maybe the distractions are simple, like television. Maybe the distractions are more complex, old stories we tell ourselves. May this Lent come with the gift of presence.
Remember you are dust
Yes, today we remember that we are dust. But also: Remember you belong to God, and to God you shall return.
Ash Wednesday: Remember you are Finite
Lent is simple, deceptively simple. Lent is about accepting our limits. Lent is about giving up what makes us sad. Faith is about falling in love, and following Jesus.
