It's hard to believe that it's practically Easter. I feel that Lent passed so quickly - and that I didn't quite stick to my Lenten promises. I even caught myself fading in and out of the Gospel at this evening's Palm Sunday liturgy.
These things (among others) are the very same that I talked with our parish's priest about at Reconciliation this week. I'm so thankful he was able to put things in perspective for me - he explained that in noting our shortcomings and failures, we, in turn, recognize our need for a savior. (Well, ain't that the truth? I sure can't do it on my own.)
So, after my uneventful (as far as promise-keeping) Lent, my goal for this Holy Week is to try just a little harder. Those promises I haven't kept or prayers I haven't said - this is the week for those. And then - hopefully - I can continue those habits into the Easter season.
Remember, we're not perfect. And it's not too late to try again.
Have a blessed Holy Week!
