“Cease doing evil and learn to do good”!
How is your lent going?
What are your Lenten practices and
are you faithfully carrying them out?
May be suddenly you realize that I have
to do something for lent?
You are never too late.
Through Prophet Isaiah the
Lord reminds us “ come wash yourselves clean, and let us set things right”.
The
Lord is taking the first step reassess our lives and do the right thing.
Approach the sacrament of penance, then embark on doing good:
The corporal
works of mercy.
Maybe you can visit a sick person today that always wanted to
visit and offer your words of encouragement or presence to let them know how
much God cares about them.
It could be your son, daughter, spouse who is really
struggling with some issues and you would want to give your listening ear.
No
matter what you do, doing it with utmost love for the Lord is essential. Jesus
condemns the Pharisees for their lack of depth, honesty and integrity in their
conduct of themselves for they were doing everything for a show.
Their hearts
were far from God.
So Jesus tells them to ‘practice what they preach’.
The
reward that awaits us is: “if you are willing and obey, you will eat good
things of the land” which is peace and joy that knows no bounds.
So let us get
on with our Lenten practices for the glory of God.
