Pause, reflect, respond

“Lent comes providentially to awaken us, to shake us from our lethargy.” – Pope Francis

“The salvation of this human world lies nowhere else than in the human heart, in the human power to reflect, in human meekness and human responsibility.” – Vaclav Havel

Pause.
Reflect.
Respond.
Reverence and awe.
Desert. Cross. Resurrection.
No shorts to the Third Day.
Relationship not religion.
Winter to spring.
Desert to life.
Love, hope, grace, peace in all moments, days, weeks, seasons.

“You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working, and just so, you learn to love by loving. All those who think to learn in any other way deceive themselves.” – St. Francis de Sales
