The journey of Lent 2011
"I am the light of the world Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness but will have the light of life. " This
Jesus says to each of us and if, in living our day, we try to really go after him for sure, we see every moment, all we do, every encounter, illumined by his presence. But Jesus says to each: "You are the light of the world, you are the salt of life."
Sometimes our days go by like a desert, there are days that seem to be all up hill or an obstacle course, also our follow Jesus becomes tiresome, as if he dragged it on top of a mountain ... but , surprise!, right there he was transfigured before us, disclosing a face unknown to us, the Risen One!
not just light that enlightens, but it is a new taste in life!
The annual journey of 40 days affects everyone, adults and children, in following Jesus step by step, and helps us to discover that he is in us and for us the water of life, the light that overcomes our darkness , the life that rises from the dead!
There is neither spontaneous nor natural to make our journey back Jesus, we must struggle with our own laziness, with our distractions, with our concerns, our selfishness in order to converge against him, making us by all means help the community takes available: the word of God, prayer, charitable works together ... to discover that there is more taste in life!
