Friday, February 28Born in France in 1876, Daniel was ordained in 1899 and began a teaching career. That didn’t satisfy him long. He wanted to use his zeal for the gospel far beyond the classroom.

Return to me with your whole heart…
Joel 2: 12Getting out of the house and taking a walk on a beautiful sunny day in the winter can be energizing and refreshing. The worst part of the walk can be when you get into the shadows, for example, in the shadow of a tall building or a tree shade that doesn’t get enough sunlight. That part is usually cold and if ever it is windy, you really feel it. I often walk this shadowy part fast, so as to reach the warm or sunlit part.
Ash Wednesday and Lent always bring us to the 'shadow part' of the liturgical year. The season starts with Ashes!! Words like “you are dust and to dust you shall return”.
The readings are brutal and un-forgiving, totally depressing. The Lenten practices of fasting, almsgiving and prayer give one no relief. It is about temptations, suffering and death etc. I confess it is very hard to preach about them for 5 straight weeks, yet their message is needed. They are like going through an acupuncture session. They are curative. At the end of the Lenten season is the events of Easter vigil. Christ is our Light!
The best way to go through these hard weeks is to keep your head up, walk (with God always) towards the better part.
A Blessed Lent to all!
