I attended the Ash Wednesday Service at All Saints this evening with a dear friend.
My Take-Aways from Ed Bacon:
As you begin this 40 day journey (Lent), make the time to listen. Connect to your inner soul. Seek Clarity, warmth, forgiveness, gratitude, restore those things that have been damaged, broken, or hurt. Discover the truth that is produced only in community.
“No one else has access to the world you carry around within yourself; you are its custodian and entrance. No one else can see the world the way you see it. No one else can feel your life the way you feel it. Thus it is impossible to ever compare two people because each stands on such different ground. When you compare yourself to others, you are inviting envy into your consciousness; it can be a dangerous and destructive guest.” ~John O’Donaghue
1) In life there is LIFE.
2) In life there is DEATH.
3) In death there is LIFE
Seek LIFE in all of its forms to seek justice, bring peace, and help the human race become the human family.
