More than just pious words and prayers, more than giving up desserts, Lent it a time for personal, spiritual renewal...as deep as we can male it at this time. Amazing how each year, we try to do more, and seem be be able to; we never go deep enough, but let's not look ahead, but look at NOW. In our efforts to eradicate distractions and impasses' to our friendship with Jesus and spend more time with him and give more service to our neighbor, we are on the right track toward developing a "best friend"-ship with Jesus and working towards giving him the "best version of ourselves."
Today's Gospel passage, the famous "Matthew 25"...the sheep and the goats at the last judgement, outlines a meaty Lenten (and beyond) program for us, reminding us that service to these "least favored" is service to Jesus. Time, effort, sacrifice are entailed in carrying out these words. What can I do to fulfill even ONE of these services today, this Lent?
