3rd week of Lent, Wednesday –Look at the grass you placed by your candle the other day. It likely looks shriveled and drying or moldy. Without God’s blessing in his continuous creation of life and the circumstances for life, there would not be life. Your action in removing this grass from its roots changed the grass’s existence from living to dying. A natural enough process perhaps, but effected by you. What else does humanity affect in our time, with our acceptance? Which of those many things within your view yesterday would you give up for the life and health of the planet? For God’s sake?
