The day after Good Friday and I look back with some regret and embarrassment…for I have yet to figure out what I will give up for lent. It seems like I have made no spiritual headway. During the last forty days I went through no self-denial, did no corporal works of mercy and did not even keep up with my normal attendance at daily mass. I can only hold on to a glimmer of hope that I will not be drummed out of Christ’s army on judgment day. It would be a major mistake to wait until that day to be caught red-handed…at that point there would be no last chance, no turning toward Christ, no redemption. 20/20 hindsight will have no advantage at the final exam.
So I need to perform my Easter duty, swallow my pride and continue my daily conversion.
Please, Lord Jesus, help me overcome my procrastination, take advantage of hindsight now and turn from my less than saintly ways.
Amen
