Fellow Knights, We are full blown into Lent. Hopefully we all have given some serious thought and prayer to our Lenten resolutions. How about fasting from self-centeredness? Every Lent I face the same question: What should I give up? Booze, sweets, meat on Fridays or more... Such fasting might draw my attention to God for short periods as I fight the urge to have a beer or martini or a hot dog on Friday, but it hardly seems enough. I'm thinking the fasting God calls us to do should never be about just taming our desires. Instead, we are called to look outward and see others who desire freedom and cannot seem to find it without help. This whole situation in the Ukraine is a prime example of people looking for help to remain free. What can I do today to extend the freedom we receive in Christ to those in need? How can we move from self-centered fasting to some sort of action that will improve the lives of others? Intense prayer, volunteering time or treasure for charitable causes ...what else? God Bless you and your families. May the holy saints and angels watch over us all. Always pray for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Vivat Jesus, Tom Garrett, PGK, Recorder |
