Let Us Not Grow Weary

Our Lenten prayers, fastings and almsgiving over the past four weeks, we hope, are helping us "to pass from our former way to newness of life, that we may be made ready for the glory of the heavenly kingdom."  (Collect for Monday of the Fifth Week of Lent).  It seems a fitting time to to reflect on, pray over, and apply to our lives, St. Paul's admonition to the Galatians (and us as well), as we move along this final stretch before Holy Week.  He writes, Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for you reap whatever you sow.  If you sow to your own flesh, you will reap corruption from the flesh; but if you sow to the Spirit you will reap eternal life from the Spirit.  So let us not grow weary in doing what is right, for we will reap at harvest time, if we do not give up.  So then, whenever we have an opportunity, let us work for the good of all, and especially for those of the family of faith. (Gal 6: 7-10).
