Those who have known me over the years will know that I have never been wedded to one denomination. I have always believed that each branch of the church has things to teach us.
A few days ago I saw this English translation of Pope Francis’ Lent Message. Although I come from traditions which don’t do Lent, this struck me as a profound statement. Something for every Christian, whatever colour their coat, to meditate on.
Do you want to fast this Lent?
Fast from hurting words and say kind word
Fast from sadness and be filled with gratitude
Fast from anger and be filled with patience
Fast from pessimism and be filled with hope
Fast from worries and trust in God
Fast from complaints and contemplate simplicity
Fast from pressure and be prayerful
Fast from bitterness and fill your heart with joy
Fast from selfishness and be compassionate to others
Fast from grudges and be reconciled
Fast from words and be silent so you can listen
