The Dark Night
In the end hiddenness, smallness, even darkness is a gift. It can be where we encounter God and where God touches us. It is a place that affirms the holiness of our littleness and the little things we do. The vigil of darkness gives way to light and to a transformed life. The moment of abandonment becomes the first taste of glory.
Activity
Lent activities start on Ash Wednesday and end on Wednesday of Holy Week.
Thought for the Week
Daily Reflections for Lent 2008
Saint Francis reminds us to do more than look at the cross. We see the external cause of pain. We need to look for the interior love that accepted the pain and gave it meaning.
