I received a letter from a modern organization the other day, and it gave me some good ideas for a pre-Lent meditation. With some changes, here it is:
"My dearest child," Our Lady says to us. "Please do not fear these next forty days. During this time, my Son will give you His greatest gift. He will show us, through His sufferings, His sacrifice and death, how much He loves you, and how much He wants your sanctification."
She further advises us, "Please embrace this time of sacrifice as your own. Behold the true power of Faith, Charity and Sacrifice. Never forget, my dearest child, that I am here to hold you in my arms, just as I held my Son when He was taken down from the Cross."
Just as St. John lay his head on the Savior in this stained-glass window from St. Patrick's Cathedral in Armagh, Ireland, let us rest in Jesus and His Most Holy Mother as we make this Lent the holiest we've ever had!
