Lent 2008 - 1st Monday

"Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall declare your praise."

It is fitting that our very first "lesson" in our faith, is the last judgment scene that Jesus paints for us.

We will be judged on whether we:

* fed the hungry

* welcomed the stranger

* clothed the naked

* comforted the sick

* visited the imprisoned.

It is powerful to re-learn this wisdom - Jesus identifies with each of these "least" cared for.

Who might we feed, welcome, clothe, comfort or visit this week?

As my heart might "resist" this mission, I might beg to be brought back, with all my heart.
