The days when we commemorate the passion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ are quickly approaching. Our lenten observances were meant to prepare us to celebrate this most holy time of the year worthily. What is our disposition? Are we truly ready to give Christ fitting worship? Can we say that lent has provided an opportunity for true repentance and conversion? If so, have we seized the opportunity? If not, why?
Our Lord patiently waits for us to turn our hearts over to Him completely. He gently knocks at the door, but will never force Himself in. Are we ready to accept Christ on His terms rather than our own?
For our sake, Christ instituted the Eucharist and the Priesthood of Jesus Christ before suffering His agony and passion. The time is now when we must allow Christ to come to us through the grace of the sacraments, especially the Eucharist. Let our preparation be such as to allow us to bear fruit from receiving our Lord.
Sincerely in Christ,
Rev. Jeffery A. Fasching
