Lent - Day 9
"Popular Lent is too occupied with guilt and repentance...Lent is rather seeing how to take steps into God's future so that we are no longer defined by what is past and no longer distracted by what we have treasured or feared about the present..."
--Walter Brueggemann (A Way Not Our Own)

Lent - Day 5
Love is patient and kind
Love is never jealous
It does not brag or boast
It is not puffed up or big-headed.
Love does not act in shameful ways
Nor does it care only about itself
It is not hot-headed
Nor does it keep track of wrongs done to it.
Love is not happy with lies and injustice
But truth makes its heart glad.
Love keeps walking even when carrying a heavy load
Love keeps trusting
Never loses hope
stands firm in hard times.
The road of love has no end.
I Corinthians 13:4-8. (First Nations Version)

Lent - Day 4
"Above all, trust in the slow work of God...
It is the law of all progress that it is made by passing through stages of instability...
...and that it may take a very long time."
--Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
