Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day. But as you may or may not be aware, it is also Ash Wednesday. I wonder when was the last time those two fell on the same day.
But with that, I’m posting a beautiful prayer that marks the beginning of the season of Lent which lasts from Ash Wednesday up until Easter Sunday:
“A lenten prayer to avoid entitlement from Richard Rohr:
‘Maybe we all should begin our days with a litany of satisfaction, abundance, and enoughness. God, you have given me another day of totally gratuitous life: my health, my eyes, my ears, my mind, my taste, my family, my freedom, my education, clean water, more than enough food, a roof over my head, a warm bed and blanket, friends, sunshine, a beating heart, and your eternal love and guidance.
To any one of these we must say, ‘And this is more than enough!'”
