Good Friday
As a rose blooms with its heart turned upward, one should turn with one’s heart turned toward heaven.
This Lent we turned our personalities toward God. The turn was subtle, not a radical refiguring of self, but a friendliness of self, an acceptance of our limitations -- yet a transformation nonetheless of growth. We came home to who we rightfully are, our higher self. Now what we are required to do is make space for the reality to arise, the wisdom and the good.How do we do it?
We learned this Lent through prayer, meditation, and focus on what our soul tells us everyday. Let us not be twice a year church goers. Easter and Christmas, in reality or figuratively, quick fixes do not work in our faith any more than quick fixes work in any other aspect of our life. To limit one’s experience to two holy days is deny ourselves the the reawakened spiritual renewal and communal connection that is there for us daily.
Don’t wait for next Lent to get back on the road for spiritual renewal. It will always be “tomorrow” if you do. This Lent we have turned East to West, it only took one step. Take the next step, not West to East, but forward toward God, and then another, and another. The journey you began over 40 days ago is well worth it. It is what God calls us to do.
