The Gift of Lent
Every year the Church gives to us an extended time of
fasting, prayer and almsgiving. A total of 40 days (in case you
like details… the 40 days adds up as follows: Ash
Wednesday until the Wednesday of Holy week). Sundays
are not added into the 40-day count as they are mini Easter
celebrations. The reason why the Church celebrates the
solemn time of Lent every year is to help the faithful prune
their lives from things that are not helping them with their
own walk of discipleship. This is just how life works, is it
not? Over time we collect things that are not important.
Any walk through a closet, “junk drawer,” garage or storage
area will remind us that we have a whole bunch of stuff that
we just accumulated over the years. If this is true in the
physical parts of our lives, couldn’t it also happen in the
spiritual parts of our lives too, where we just collect things
that are cluttering our souls?
The Gospel of John has a discourse that is found only in his
Gospel called Jesus’ farewell discourse, which occurs at the
last supper, as Jesus is speaking with his disciples. Within
chapters 13 through 17 of John’s Gospel, we get many of the
passages that mean so much to us Christians. Right dab in
the middle we have John 15. In this passage, Jesus is giving
his disciples the imagery of us being like branches and He is
the vine. He then tells his disciples: “Every branch that bears
fruit he prunes, to make it bear more fruit” (John 15:2).
Thus, before our Lord undergoes his Passion, he is
reminding them that there is going to be some suffering,
some pruning, but it is all for a purpose: BEARING FRUIT!
This, my brothers and sisters, is what is at the heart of every
Lenten discipline. It is to prune, to get rid of the spiritual
clutter that we have in our lives so that new fruit can come
forth. Just think about this analogy. If a bush or shrub gets
out of control it just looks like a rat’s nest of branches and
leaves. However, if it is pruned in the fall, come the spring it
looks so lush, fresh, and well sculpted. The same is true
with our souls. Without some intentional pruning our souls
resemble more of a rat’s nest than a sanctuary for the Most
High.
To simply allow these 40 days to be for us an opportunity to
prune areas in our lives like media use, consumption of food
and drink, spending of money, idle chatter, and simply
wasting time on things that don’t matter, we will see come
Easter, a dramatic increase of fruit and freedom. I fully
realize that this bulletin article comes out a week already
into Lent, but to take it to heart and really try to actively
engage the remaining 30 some days of Lent, will be totally
worth the effort. If you are looking for practical ideas on
how or what to prune, just google “good ideas for Lent by
Lifeteen.” There are 25 suggestions that are really creative
and effective.

Pray on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. Trace Christ’s final days in Jerusalem, from the Garden of Gethsemane to walking the Way of the Cross, to climbing the hill of Calvary to where Christ was crucified and laying your hands on the slab where his body was prepared for burial. Witness the miracle of the resurrection as we pray inside his very tomb.

Parish Calendar
THE OBEDIENCE OF ABRAHAM AND JESUS
God tested Abraham by asking not for an ordinary sacrifice,
which would have been a partial burning with the meat
divided between God and the people and eaten by those who
sacrificed, but for a holocaust, a total burning of the sacrificial
animal. This type of sacrifice consecrated the entire offering
to God alone. This is what God was asking of Abraham in
offering his only son, Isaac. When Abraham demonstrated his
obedience, that was enough. This story from today’s
scriptures foretells the completion of the blood sacrifices of
the old covenant in the new covenant: the blood of God’s
own Son, offered to us on the cross and in the Eucharist.
Abraham’s obedience foreshadows the obedience of Jesus to
God’s promise of salvation. The obedience of Abraham is
rewarded in the birth to him, through Isaac, of many nations.
The obedience of Jesus is rewarded in the salvation of all
people for all time.
