LENT - NEW PATTERNS



Something all of us can do is commit ourselves to being more reflective during Lent. It just means that I’m going to make a point of being more observant, more aware of what I’m experiencing - paying more attention to what is “automatic” behaviour. And, I then start paying attention to my desires. 

We have all kinds of desires. During Lent, I can reflect upon the desires I currently have and which of them need to be purified, which may need to be abandoned, and which are wonderful desires that are there, but I haven’t acted upon them. Naming our deepest desires will guide the choices we make to establish new patterns for Lent.
