Enjoy the springtime of life
And live in wonder.
Enjoy in awe the Love
God lavishes upon the lowly.
Enjoy the ever fresh image of Christ
Imprinted in our souls.
It is Lent
Enjoy your food,
Receive it from the hand of God.
Abhor sin and cease to feed on fodder,
That you might have fullness
And your choice portion
At Heaven’s banquet.

Beautiful. I love to think of that – Lenten Springtime.

I used to focus on deprivation in Lent, not on the goal. Now I get it. But it’s been a long time coming.
