"I hope you have to struggle during lent"- my priest
Lent starts on Wednesday. Those words would seem kind of cruel if they were not followed with an explanation. The explanation was that lent is intended as a spiritual journey through which we move through.
Extrapolating to real life, we undertake smaller journeys throughout our days.We have a beginning, a small struggle(or a big struggle), and eventually we have an end. If we examine these small journeys they polish us, take the rough edges away, in different dimensions. Lent is simply a spiritual polishing.
You can think of a struggle as a learning lesson or as punishment. You are correct in either belief.
Today's question is:
"What small journey are you struggling with today?"
