This morning, Isaiah calls us to "set things right." (Is 1: 18) Lent is a time to take a good look at how we are living our life of faith: the time we are giving God in prayer, the quality of that prayer, our fidelity to the sacrament of reconciliation, the need to mend relationships with others, and our inner or verbalized judgments of family members or co-workers. We might also consider the motives behind our actions. Are we seeking praise? Are we "takers", or are we ones who "serves the rest"? Jesus says these are "the greatest among you," (Mt 23:11). May Jesus open our eyes and hearts, even shake us up a bit, and help us to learn humility, admit our shortcomings and "set things right."
