Spring Awakening

A little funny how this plague is happening at the same time as Lent.  I think it is good, as I know it is a time of reflection for me.  I may not go physically to church.  But, I was educated for nine years through the church and graduated from a Catholic University.  A friend on Facebook shared the Lenten meditation for the National Cathedral in Washington DC. I signed up to receive the meditation each morning sent to my inbox of my email.  I was moved by each day, since it was not only a reading and a prayer, it was related to the pandemic.  Which, made the prayers more meaningful.  As, we move towards Palm Sunday this week, it is more intense following the footsteps of Jesus.  I also like the perspectives of all different religions and not just the Catholic.  I hope you visit the website.  But, most of all I hope you get there in person some day.  We took the kids there and spent the whole day, when they were about 9.  We became fascinated with the gargoyles, and the children actually attended a workshop to make their own gargoyles from clay.  The architecture is amazing and it is still a work in progress.
