A GRAZING HERD OF KIDS
As we enter this Lenten season of Fasting, Almsgiving, and Prayer, perhaps God is inviting us to enter into our spiritual hunger with greater patience and openness.
THE FACE OF TRUTH
When Matthew fully turned his attention to Jesus, he saw for the first time, someone who loved him for who he is.
HAVE MERCY ON ME, O GOD, IN YOUR GOODNESS
Lord, how can I be more aware of your mercy and goodness today?
A WAY FORWARD
I’m incredibly limited, deeply flawed, but together with God, real healing and growth can happen.
An Invitation to a Whole-Hearted Journey
Receiving ashes gets us in touch with the heart of the matter, which is the matter of the heart.
FASTING TO ENRICH THE LEAST, THE LOST, AND THE LAST
Fasting is about encountering and enriching Jesus in the Least, the Lost, and the Last.

The pain that comes from carrying this cross is redemptive because it is born out of love.
EMBRACING LOVE
The Lenten season offers a return to the bedrock truth of our faith: God’s unconditional love that Jesus revealed.

LOOKING WITH LOVE
Jesus answered, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance." - Lk 5:31-32
I am amazed at the way you look at Matthew, calmly, peacefully, mercifully. Your look changed his life.
THE LONGING OF GOD
“This is the fasting that I wish: sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them.” - Is 58:6-7
Too often we begin Lent with secondary longings. We long for our peace, forgiveness, healing … But are they primary?
LENT: A LINGERING SHADOW
“Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God, heeding his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you.” – Deut. 30:19-20
Sometimes Lent sneaks up on us. Other times, the dying with Christ has been lurking behind us like a lingering shadow ...
A LENTEN PILGRIMAGE PRAYER
Jesus: today, Lent begins. I want to follow you, to become a pilgrim, to travel to another place, existentially and geographically, and learn to trust you more radically along the way.
