Fourth Sunday of Lent

In many ways it is hard to believe that it is already the Fourth Sunday of Lent. Time is flying by. As we begin this Fourth Week of Lent let us look back and see where we have followed our desires and where we have let others go. I always enjoy the Fasting and Feasting that we find shared at this time. Perhaps as we enter the Fourth Week we can renew our commitment to deepen our relationship with our loving God.

FASTING AND FEASTING

Let us fast from judging others and feast on the Christ that dwells in them.  Let us fast from anger and feast on patience.

Let us fast from resentment and feast on forgiveness.

Let us fast from discouragement and feast on hope.

Let us fast from lies and feast on the God’s truth.

Let us fast from wasting time and feast on the holiness of work.

Let us fast from gossip and feast on holy silence.

Let us fast from shame and feast on the mercy of God.

Let us fast from prejudice and feast on our kinship in Christ.

Let us fast from selfishness and feast on generosity.

Let us fast from worry and feast on the story of God’s care.

Let us fast from gloom and feast on the beauty that surrounds us.

Let us fast from busyness and feast on cherishing every moment.
