But green is pushing up under dry grass.
A lone robin sings in a bare tree.
It was winter and suddenly it is Lent. It came too quickly this year. What do I do during Lent? Repent and live the Gospel! How do I do that? I’m too old to hoard candy till Easter. I still am not ready to apologize to my enemy or to greet her in the hallway. Believe in the Gospel. That means live it. I need help. I need hope. Pray.
Ask confidently, single heartedly.
Dig deeply without ceasing.
Seek daily everywhere.
Wait calmly in joyful hope.
How do we continue to live the Gospel throughout Lent?
