Lenten Meditation
The critical element in strengthening our spiritual life is connecting afresh with God. Apart from that connection, we can do nothing for God, and our best intentions are likely to be misguided to some degree. As we enter the Lenten season, the church typically furnishes resources for us to take deliberate steps to deepen and enrich our connections with God. Here are three. The first is a weekly reflection on what the Church has identified as the Seven Deadly Sins, and their remedies, given by Jesus in the Beatitudes of the Sermon on the Mount. Before you roll your eyes dismissively, imaging that deadly sins are some holdover obsession of the middle ages of monastics who loathe themselves... STOP! These are absolutely universal and relevant to every one of our lives.
Pride? "Irrationally believing that one is essentially and necessarily better, superior, or more important than others, failing to acknowledge the accomplishments of others, and excessive admiration of the personal image or the self and refusing to acknowledge one's own limits, faults or wrongs as a human being?" Have you read the newspaper lately?
Gluttony? Are you aware of the epidemic levels of morbid obesity in America, and of the health and medical complications that attend it?
Anger/Wrath? How many mass-murderous school shootings will suffice to catch our attention that we have a serious problem here?
Lust? Have you read the February 11th, 2018 New York Times Magazine cover story on the widespread and growing uses of internet pornography in the formation of American teen sexual attitudes and behaviors?
You get the idea. Each week we will have a reflection on what Jesus has told us about dealing with these realities in every life. We hope to apply his teaching to draw us nearer to God, and more deeply into God's purposes for us.

Here is another path:
The Society of St. John the Evangelist, based in nearby Cambridge, MA, has an online Lenten resource entitled, "Meeting Jesus in the Gospel of John." You can do a daily meditation with that good help. Please visit Society of Saint John the Evangelist.
Our Deacon Postulant, Dr. Harry Easterly, has also proposed a wonderfully simple starter kit for Lenten reflection:
Create a 25 word written reflection on: "Why do I go to church?" or "Why am I a Christian?" Take the time to review it weekly during the season of Lent. If you would like to share your insights, Geoffrey Piper or Cathy Harper would be happy to hear from you.
Whatever you choose, accept God's upward call in the Spirit, and discover what blessings await us there!
