Ash Wednesday 2010

 Here we start.  The "great journey" begins today.  The adult in each of us is challenged to (1) examine the way I live my life; (2) consider what needs to be changed in my life; (3) accept the reality of the need for repentance in life; (4) make the strongest resolution ever that I will make a wholehearted effort to open my soul to the voice of the Holy Spirit, calling me to metanoia, a removal from my life of what it is that separates me from God.  Simply put we should see Lent as the gift from our Church to draw closer to Jesus by a radical change of heart.  The challenge today is to make the time to write down how I will address the four issues listed above.
