In today reading Daniel prays in the name of the people. They are ashamed of what they have done. Yet they know that God is compassionate and forgiving.
In the course of Psalm 119 the author uses no fewer than eight synonyms to express God’s gift of self-revelation. No matter how you say it, God’s intervention is a source of blessing.
God holds each of us responsible for our personal behavior. Good people will be rewarded for their goodness and bad people will be punished for their sinfulness.
The reason we have to pray is so that we don’t lose sight of how much we depend on God’s goodness and how vulnerable we are without it.
God’s word is an event. It does something. During Lent God invites us to see his word at work–achieving the end for which he sends it.
The Church chose today’s date to honor St. Peter, father of the church in Rome. Peter’s fatherhood persists in the person of the pope.
If we take Lent seriously–here and now today–and pay greater attention to God and our neighbor then the Lord will pay greater attention to us.
