As we approach Lent each year (today is the FIRST SUNDAY OF LENT 2014), we always look for small ways to help us reflect on this holy season. Back in 1988, there was an article in LIGUORIAN magazine that had some considerations for Lent, drawing upon modern day realities that are very familiar to us. It's given here for your Lenten prayerful reflection:
If we were knives, Lent would be a time to sharpen our cutting edges.
If we were cars, Lent would be a time for an oil change and a tune-up.
If we were swimming pools, Lent would be a time to filter the dirt out of our water.
If we were gardens, Lent would be a time to fertilize our soil and pull up our weeds.
If we were carpets, Lent would be a time to get power-cleaned.
If we were VCR's, Lent would be a time to clean our heads and adjust our tracking.
If we were computers, Lent would be a time to overhaul our disk drive.
If we were highways, Lent would be a time to repair our cracks and fill our potholes.
If we were a TV, Lent would be a time to adjust our focus and do the fine tuning.
If we were silverware, Lent would be a time to clean away the tarnish.
If we were batteries, Lent would be a time to get re-charged.
If we were seeds, Lent would be a time to germinate and reach for the sun.
