Lent 2023

“Fasting is the change of every part of our life, because the sacrifice of the fast is not the abstinence but the distancing from sins.”St. John Chrysostom {website}

A little while, and you will see me no longer. Again in a little while, and you will see me.

You do not have to stay up and wait. The end of the world is not coming. You do not have to act as a witness. Nothing bad will happen if you close your eyes. Go to sleep. The man called Jesus is dead. The terror of that night was over a long time ago. Humans hurt each other all the time. It doesn't mean anything. There is nothing you can do about it right now. It's late. The world will still be there in the morning.

Go to sleep.

“We call Lent a ‘penitential season’. It is striking, then, that the symbol with which it begins does not focus so much on personal sin as on our contingence as created beings […] To take the ashes is to confess kinship with this world of dust, to declare our readiness to abdicate pretensions to omnipotence. Standing before God in this way, I profess that I am not God. I admit the chasm that separates me from him. I accept the uncomfortable otherness of God. He is what I am not, yet my being bears his mark. I crave a completion no created thing can give. I walk this earth as yearning incarnate. I am at home, yet a stranger, homesick for a homeland I recall but have not seen.”

— Erik Varden: The Shattering of Loneliness

Luxury. Refinement. Power.

___

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The Holy Spirit asks Jesus if He forgot His lunch, and Jesus responds in the affirmative, as if forgetting His lunch is something He was supposed to do. The Holy Spirit's question is similar to a mother reminding her children to pack their lunches for school, but the opposite, reminding Jesus to forget His lunch instead of bring it. This is because Jesus is going into the desert to fast (eat less than usual as a religious sacrifice), so He's not supposed to bring lunch with him. 2. The Bible translation I drew from said, "The Spirit drove Jesus out to the desert." To "drive" someone can either mean (1) to encourage, cause, or force them to do something; or (2) to take them somewhere by automobile. In the Bible, they mean the former. I, being of sound mind and gentle soul, innocently wonder, "Why not both?" 3. Jesus declares that he's "going TO fast" (going to eat less than usual). But this sounds like "going TOO fast" (going at an irresponsible speed). The Holy Spirit assumes Jesus is saying the latter, and corrects Him by saying They're going the speed limit (i.e. not too fast). 4. The car is based on the one featured in the hit television program, "Joe Pera Talks With You." It's a white 2001 Buick Park Avenue, which his students call, "God's car." Now, it IS God's car.

There will be an overlap again this year of Lent and Ramadan so we’ll both be hungry at the same time.

“As Lent is the time for greater love, listen to Jesus’ thirst... He knows your weakness. He wants only your love and only the chance to love you.”
