For many of us, the seaason of Lent is about focusing on what we give up - meat, alcohol, sweets....this test of endurance may sometimes cloud the true, rich meaning of Lent in which we are blessed to be given the gift of growing spiritually in our relationship with God.
A Blessing for the Journey of Seeking God
When your soul whispers of its deepest longings,
may you quiet yourself to listen.
May you follow the path of yearning to the One alone who blends the uneven edges
into a life of meaning.
May you meet and be united with God
and give thanks for the whispers
that led you there.
