The Lord is kind and merciful.
—Psalm 103
Listen to Psalm 103
Here we are, speeding down the spiritual superhighway to the season of Lent.
Not my favorite time of the liturgical year, all somber and solemn.
But, in a few days, we will receive ashes on our heads, be reminded of our mortal end, fast and abstain, and ponder how we might become more earnest in “the usual measure of our service” this season.
