LENTEN LOVE NOTES
SYMBOL: Plate (What’s on you plate?)
“… when the bridegroom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.” (Mt. 9:14-15)
“To feast, one must first fast: to come to consummation, one must first live in chastity; and to taste specialness, one must first have a sense of what’s ordinary. When fasting, inconsummation, and the dour rhythm of the ordinary are short-circuited, then fatigue of the spirit, boredom, and disappointment replace celebration. We are left with the empty feeling that says: “All this hype, for this!” Something can only be sublime if, first of all, there is some sublimation.” (An excerpt)
What’s on your plate that you will remove to have a meaningful lenten jounrney?
Why do you fast?
