First Sunday of Lent * Brief Ramblings
I had hoped to write some sort of reflection or something each Sunday of Lent. I must admit, my reflections have been for the most part like this page….blank. Primarily I suppose…pretty basic stuff…
Belief and acceptance
acceptance of the here and now,
Accept things, people, me as we are
and ”trusting the Light” when dark
my own God-given Light …the One that I have felt/known a long time there…even before “church” …in my own way ..
reacting to ..touching into, having access to ..acknowledging consubstantiality …me and my (God-given) Light one in being with one another….however little or however much it may be…enough to share…especially when fragmented.
Maybe this is part of a “temptation” to begin to see that the church perhaps sometimes puts too fine a point on believing prior to “getting in” ….as much as I loved and needed RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) and even though I do understand the historical church precedence for this; for example, trusting those who come in was most important in the days of Christian persecution. …
Blessed are those who believe without seeing, yes~but that doesn’t mean there is not room for doubt too (grace and mercy)
