The Season Of Lent 2021 #Lent

Leave a comment

For many in the Christian community today begins the season of Lent. This 40 days before Easter is a time for self reflection, penitence, forgiveness and thinking of ones life and mortality. Pope Francis offers this list of things one can do to observe and participate in during this season. Everyone should find something they can do from this list.

The Coronavirus pandemic began right before Lent of 2020 so it seems the season never stopped. There has been much sacrifice and loss in these days and thinking about this time in life and history giving up something isn’t what people really want to do.

Lent can be for everyone. There are universal themes that believers and non-believers can latch on to. No matter how this season of life finds you may you be encouraged, strengthened and cared for.

No One Is Really OK

5 Comments

We all have been through trauma in the past year. And I would bet no one is really OK. I’m not and haven’t been since my dad died in 2019. Covid has done a number on the hearts and souls of the entire world. It changed us radically, it changed our lives, everything was altered in many cases forever.

We are struggling with a new reality and perhaps some PTSD like those who have been to war. So many people have suffered and lost loved ones. It’s what’s happening everywhere.

Will we be OK? Maybe one day. We have a long way to go before anyone will be what we called normal.

Until then, hold on to one another. Love your neighbor as yourself. Be kind. This is the way. So say we all.
