In some of our "low moments" we might find discouragement encroaching upon us. "A week into Lent, and already I find myself unfaithful to my Lenten promises", we might be saying. But do we look at how we responded to the unexpected requests that surprise us each day? There are only so many hours in the day, and when we respond to an unforeseen need and thus have no time for that extra Lenten reading or prayer (I just had such an interruption!!!) perhaps what was more important was the act of kindness that was required of us. Rather than measuring our progress, and punishing ourselves for our lack of it, we might rely on the "law of love", for it is on how much we loved that we will be judged, not on how much we've done!
