I am beginning this Lent (2012) recovering from an operation which I am hoping will result in me feeling well after over a year of very poor health... I have never been very much in favour of giving things up for Lent, as I think this could too often, for me at least, become an exercise in something else, like losing the weight I need to, or getting more healthy, or just lead to feeling guilty...
So, I have decided to commit to writing a blog during Lent, not necessarily every day, but on a frequent basis, to help me feel plugged back into where I want to be in my spiritual journey: knowing what I should be doing next in my personal journey and in my work with the LCAC in the North of England - more of that another day...
One thing I have signed up to is the Tear Fund's Carbon Fast:
which will give me something to think about in addition to the spiritual reading I will be doing... This is a great activity to join in with - I invite you to join me...
The reading from today's Gospel (Liberal Catholic Church - alt) begins:
Jesus said to Nicodemus:
Amen. I say to you, unless a person be born again, they cannot see the commonwealth of God.
This seems very appropriate to me as I hope to be born into a life of health and energy, where I can serve God in a way that I have not been able to over the last year...
Hears to re-birth!
