What are you leaving or giving up this lent? Chocolate, food, clothing style or movies. It is true we need to give up to discipline ourselves to follow our Lord in His passion. But is lent only giving up material thing and accumulating
unwanted guests like pride, anger, hate, jealousy and ego in our lives? Giving up material things and accumulating these things, our lives in no ways lightens the weight of the cross of Jesus.What profits us if we keep hatred and anger within us and give up chocolates and meat? Do not the pagan do the same? Let us then as the children of the one Gather venture into the adventure of LENT. Let us give up complaining and start appreciating.
Give up hate - start forgiving
Give up gossiping - start being grateful
Give up judging - start understanding.
Then we can truly say we had a transforming encounter with my crucified Christ this LENT.
