Painting by Paul C Salins |
We are in the Season of Lent, where we delve deeper into the mystery of Christ’s suffering, death and resurrection. Just like that Samaritan woman we will also be opening up our emptiness of human frailty before the great mystery of life and death, solace and suffering. Perhaps we could ask ourselves whether we are ready to forgo just like that Samaritan woman our sense of guilt and helplessness before our sinful nature? Can we be people of caring and ready to help those people who are in most need of us to quench their either physical or spiritual thirst or hunger?
Lent is a time to forgo something that would enhance either our life in the spirit or our human life in general. Could we think about intensifying or enhancing our life by forgoing those attachments or things which do not allow us to live in the Spirit or with one another?
