Lent: Day Two - Thursday Feb 18, 2010

Today is the second day of the Lenten season. We are called to make sacrifices. Jesus said, "For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it."

From the canticle of Jeremiah 17: 5-8
"Cursed is the man who trusts in human beings, who seeks his strength in flesh, whose heart turns away from the Lord. He is like a barren bush in the desert that enjoys no change of season, but stands in a lava waste, a salt and empty earth. Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, whose hope is the Lord. He is like a tree planted beside the waters that stretches out its roots to the stream: It fears not the heat when it comes, its leaves stay green; in the year of drought it shows no distress, but still bears fruit."

God bless!!
