practicing a holy Lent
denying ourselves our sin
our focus on the earth
Spending with Jesus
walking with him
spending time in the scripture
God’s message for us
Fasting of the things of the world
the excesses of this life
praying for the Spirit to indwell
to guide the steps of our path
Hearing his voice calling
in the stillness of our souls
feeling God within us
in the beating of our hearts

“Michelle and I join with millions of Christians
here and across the world to mark Ash Wednesday.
As we observe the season of Lent, we receive
with thanksgiving this opportunity for grace and repentance,
recommit ourselves to our faith, and
remember our obligations to one another.”
