Guest House Daily Reflections

We’ve already begun the sacred season of Lent.  Too often we enter this season with the question: “What am I going to give up?”  There’s a double problem with this question.  First, Lent is supposed to draw us closer to Christ, the Risen Christ – and this approach makes us more centered on ourselves: what we are doing.  Second, we usually answer the question by giving up some food, snack or dessert.  We’ve done this many times.  Has it ever changed us into more faithful, loving disciples?
