By now, many may have
failed in Lenten discipline
to some measure or
another:
the
daily
doughnut is simply too
alluring, or a furtive puff
on a cigarette irresistible.
There is meaning even in
the failure, though, a kind
of reminder that we cannot save ourselves. Part of the
power of Lent is that we do it together, and although
individuals decide on different ways to keep it, it is
fundamentally the same journey. We fall, we get up, we
keep moving. The desire to “give something up” for Lent
is an age-old impulse in the Christian heart. We get
better at it over the years, and move more deeply into the
meaning and message of acts of sacrifice; so there is no
shame in stumbling, as long as we are not discouraged
by the failure and give up. We are clearing space in our
lives, after all, and some of the things we desire to give
up are worth rooting out completely anyway.
What do we do with the space we have cleared
out by our sacrifice? The Lenten question of giving up is
balanced by the Easter question of our response to
Christ’s embrace of us in love: “What are you taking on
for Easter?”

Genesis 15:7
“Just as the Lord gave Abraham, Moses and the Israelites a land to
possess, He has also given each of us a home. Whether our home is
grand or humble, it is a gift from God. Abraham prepared a great
sacrifice to the Lord in gratitude for the home God gave him. How
do we show our gratitude to God for the home He has given us? Do
we make a sacrifice of any kind? Do we return any of our finances
to God, investing equally in our eternal home just as we invest in
our current abode?”

World Day of Prayer: Women, men and children in more
than 170 countries and regions will celebrate world Day of
Prayer, on Friday, March 1, 2013. The women of France, this
year’s writer-country, have chosen the theme “I was a stranger
and you welcomed me.” The French WDP Committee looks for
a Christian response to struggles concerning immigration and
for ways to welcome “the stranger”. The women who prepared
this year’s worship service and Bible studies reach into Jesus
identification with “the least of these” in Matthew 25 and draw
on customs of hospitality found in Leviticus to paint a picture
of welcoming the stranger. Through visual interpretation and
personal stories, participants begin to put themselves in the
shoes of “the stranger,” remembering their own feelings of
being on the outside—and the blessings of welcoming. This
year’s service will be held on Friday, March 1, 4:00 PM at Main
Street Methodist Church, in Dillon, and Friday, March 8, at
4:00 PM, at Marion Presbyterian Church, in Marion. Join the
members of the St. Louis Catholic Women’s Club in support of
this year’s World Day of Prayer ecumenical prayer service.

through all our veins and makes us one in the Lord.” What is the
process to become a deacon in the Diocese of Charleston? PRAY

discernment process in January 2014. Applications can be found
