The Christmas card I sent to my college roommate came back this March just a few days ago as not deliverable. We lose track of friends and acquaintances for no good reason but it is very important to reconnect and continue with our friendship.
There are times we lose track of the triune God and the joy He brings into our lives. It is important to remember that it is not God who forsakes us but we forsake him because of our busy lives and the glitter of the outside world.
He never loses sight of us, reminding us with kind and gentle encouragement how much He loves us. He finds us, He never forgets us and gradually enters into our hearts. He never gets the wrong address.
He waits with open arms, ready to help us through our weaknesses and trials. He shows us how to live in simple silence in His presence. He shows us His will and in turn gives us the graces to seek His will.
This Lent may the graces we seek through our prayers, fasting and almsgiving help, comfort and shine in the darkness. May we have confidence in His love and the Father's will.
