REPAIRING RELATIONSHIPS AND THE POWER OF LOVE..............

Lent being the Springtime of the Church when through Repentance and Conversion, we blossom and grow a renewal in our relationship with God and others requires our willingness to repair whatever breach exists and open ourselves up to repairing and resuming a Christ-like response and interaction with one another.  As hard as we may try, all of us sometimes fall short of honoring and maintaining our relationships with both the Divine and our fellow Humans.  Thus Lent gives us a concentrated annual opportunity to correct our faults and close the divisions that exist between, committing ourselves renewed to building up our spiritual and interpersonal relationships in self-giving ways that help us contribute to constructing the Coming of God's Kingdom in Eternal Life.  As we end the 1st Week of Lent 2014, how is your commitment to removing and repairing the breaches in your relationships happening ?  Are you putting your Faith in Action by seeking to reconcile yourself with God and Others ?  Now is the time to concretize your Contrition and active Outreach, allowing the Power of Love to lead you forward in repairing and realizing authentic and flowing Relationships..............fr.tdp
