LENT RECONCILES US TO SEEK GOD'S KINGDOM FIRST..............

If we are to truly reform, renew, and reconcile, our Discipleship with Jesus The Christ this Lent we must clear the clutter and cast off the obstacles of self-centeredness that have accumulated as a wedge in our relationships with God and others and free up that place in our lives to reach out and make seeking and building the Kingdom of God, our first and foremost consideration as members of the Body of Christ.  Unless we are faithfully and fluently concerned not only with the temporalities on Earth, but with the Eternal Truth of God's Kingdom, how can the lives we lead in the present be complete and fulfilling in leading us forward to an infinite share in the Kingdom of God ?  Lent gives us a springtime to blossom a renewal to righteously seeking and putting the coming of God's front and center by food works of Faith, Fellowship, Charity, and Generosity.  Are you making Kingdom consciousness and action a priority of your Lenten observance ?..............fr.tdp
