This lent has been the most difficult. I have been extremely distracted, not wanting to dive into the full experience. It has also been a hard Lent in terms of dealing with inward sins and weaknesses. I feel like I have been dug up, and now it's time to replant.
At Lazurus Saturday services I saw that not every Lent will be the same, and that this Lent is not a failure...maybe something deeper is at work. I am weak; emotionally and physically, and the hymns of the service made me realize that I cannot resurrect myself. I need a Savior. I am powerless, and this flesh will rot if it is left in the grave.
Lent is almost over, Pascha is drawing near...our Savior draws near. And I am the laborer who has come at the last hour. May we all labor in the last hour. Blessed Holy Monday.
