Lenten Meditation XIII

inspired by Luke 6:36-38

This refers not just to generosity in the giving of alms, but equally to generosity of spirit when it comes to judgment, justice, mercy, forgiveness, and compassion. Lent is a good time to re-evaluate your stance on social justice issues. Just sayin'.

Lenten Meditation VI

inspired by Matthew 25:31-46

These are easy concepts to grasp, rooted as they are in familiar Scripture often preached . . . much more difficult to put into practice. This is at the heart of my little Become the Answer campaign. Christ is the Answer, and to the extent that we are to 'put on Christ', to 'become Christ', we need to become the Answer. Christ in heaven is king and judge, but Christ on Earth - the Christ we must become - is mercy, compassion, and sacrifice.
