A 40-days walk

On that day I woke up early morning and went to 6:00 o ‘clock Mass in our Parish. That day was Ash Wednesday! With the ashes on my head, ‘’the mark has been traced’’. A 40 days trip to start taking a new map!  I am invited in these 40 days to ‘receive my own share of His life that triumphed’ over 18 years in my religious life. I am called to ‘’enter the open garden of His overflowing fullness!’’  I take a look at the map and imagine a beautiful journey ahead of me; I am assured that even if it leads me along rough roads I have nothing to fear!

Wisdom is my Guide
Psalm 23 (adapted)
 
Wisdom is my guide, I lack nothing
In green pasture,
She lets me lie down
By gentle rain,
She lets my spirit be refreshed
I grow under her rays.
 
Wisdom guides me in the path of justice;
Her kindness is my strength,
Her tenderness leads me to salvation;
Even I walk in the dark valley
I fear no danger,
For Wisdom is with me.
 
Her faithfulness pursues me to love her more;
Her beauty delights me every day of my life
For Wisdom is my treasure,
I lack nothing more.

“Lord, let everything I do in this season of Lent come from you,
and be inspired by you: I long to be closer to you. 
Help me to remember that nothing is important in my life 
unless it glorifies you in some way.”
May I have the same faith like Mary,
 Our perfect companion, during the holy season of Lent
to commit myself fully in this journey
and give myself completely to You for God Alone. Amen!
