We have begun the season of Lent. In the Catholic Church this is a time for reflecting on our daily life to see where we need to improve. A time to enrich our Spiritual Life, to examine our failings and to make an honest effort to turn again to God and live life in the way he would want us to live.
It is a time of sacrifice too. We give something up. Or we start something up that has been lacking...prayer...mass attendance....confession....relationships with our family.
It should not be a sad time, where we moan about the little sacrifices we might make. But isn't it strange that on Ash Wednesday, a day of fast and Abstinence.....I could not get out of my mind the desire for a roll and sausage!!!
I will be out teaching for the rest of this week, so early start tomorrow.
The weather continues very cold, but beautiful sunny blue skies.
Our daughter Therese has been here for the last few days. She has been unwell. We took her to Casualty on Friday morning, and to the GP today. He disagrees with the Hospital diagnosis. He has given her some anti-inflammatory pills, and wants to see her in 3 weeks if she is still in pain.
