Time for Feasting

Lent is a Time for Feasting

Lent is a time of goodness and a time to be lavish in sharing the gifts of the Spirit with ourselves and the world. Lent is a season of passion and the renewal of our love with the great Love itself. The great feast of Lent grows from our feasting on the Love of God and it grows into a feast of gratitude as our hearts praise the Lord for all the blessings in our lives.

• We feast on forgiveness as we forgive ourselves and all who have hurt us.
• We feast on compassion as we have a new heart for the suffering and pain of the human family.
• We feast on hope because we believe in the goodness of our world and the goodness of people.
• We feast on commitment as we say 'yes' to the Lord and to the call He has given to us.
• We feast in sharing the truth of Jesus as we give our lives as Jesus did for what is just and right.
• We feast on patience because it can never be an excuse for laziness and indifference, but a real acceptance of our weakness and the need to believe in ourselves.
• And lastly, we feast on the great mercy of God, whose very being is to love and forgive and who will never withdraw His promise or His invitation to the abundant Feast of Life.
