Lent – Page 5 – Mike Angell

When will we say enough is enough? When will we learn the lesson of this desert?

This Lent my question to you is simple: how will you use this wilderness time? How will you make sense of these days?

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.

This is the first Sunday of Lent, the beginning of a long journey with Jesus. I wonder, could this Lent be an invitation? Could we ask: “Where is your wilderness?” Where can you go to be vulnerable? Where will you face your demons?

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.
