Reflections on Lent 2009: Week Two

Having Father Joseph McGowan give the homily at mass yesterday; was a blessing on many levels. He was the warm and nurturing voice my heart needed; after being untouched by a louder voice of conviction.

And what was Father McGowan sharing with us? To love, to be open to be loved; to listen for the emotions of another person but also what we feel as we connect with that person.

I've had kind of a rough second week of Lent; not anything personal or specific, just felt like a lot of yuk was going on and I couldn't do anything about it. Loss of control, but who's in control? Not I, nor do I need to be. Just listen, and love.

con paz,
