Lent is almost over, and as a concluding point, let us remember to "Learn from God to create and not destroy. Be mindful that destruction shows a lack of respect towards our Creator and each other" (2013 Lenten Care for Creation Calendar). We put forth great effort to teach our children from an early age to respect others; let us not forget that the Earth is a living, breathing being who deserves our respect as well.
Maundy Thursday: Baptism can and should take on a different meaning for us if we consider how we have desecrated the world's waters with toxins. We knowingly, willingly, baptize ourselves in these waters, immersion in toxic rather than healing waters.
Good Friday: Fast from violence...thoughts, words and deeds against each other and against our world.
Easter: Rejoice. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son...
