THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
In Italian, Lent is quaresima or forty (days). In German, it is Fastenzeit or time for bodily restraint. Our
English word comes from an older word for spring—lenz—hence our Lent. Italian tells us how long it will
last (with its symbolic overtones). German tells us what to do in that time. But English tells us what is
supposed to happen, that is, we are supposed to experience a springtime of faith, a time of fresh growth and
new life.
PRAYER
God of new life, bless us on our pilgrim way towards the great feast of Easter. Help us to know our need of
your presence, breath your Spirit into our reading of the Word, teach us to set aside whatever hinders our
true discipleship so that we may come to life in abundance and know in our hearts the joy of the Gospel.
