The season of spring provides us an opportunity “to begin again” and to refocus our attention on our call to be messengers of the Good News of God’s love. Every year, every day, every moment, we have the opportunity to pause and to “return to God with our whole heart.” [cf Joel 2:12]. Lent is an invitation to turn away from our defiance, abandon our self-interest, and let go of our sense of privilege in favor of recognizing our solidarity with all who suffer and grieve, including our hurting planet. (Bruce Epperly, Messy Incarnation)
May your spiritual journey be filled with grace and many opportunities to “begin again.”

Sunday Liturgy and Prayer
of going very deeply into ourselves...
What is it that stands between us and God?
Between us and our brothers and sisters?
Between us and life, the life of the Spirit?
Whatever it is, let us relentlessly tear it out,
without a moment's hesitation."
— Catherine Doherty
