This Lenten season has barely begun, and already I have immersed myself in the Word of God. (This has mostly been done in preparation for retreat next weekend and for a Lenten "Living the Eucharist" small group of which I am a part.)
However, I also decided to revisit one of my all-time favorite poems - it is not linked to Scripture, but it speaks of beauty from within. I used to have another (shorter) version of this poem memorized, and I think it's about time to re-commit it to memory. Since re-reading and studying it again, I have found when I ponder these words throughout the day, my outlook really does change!
And imagine my delight when I came across a version of this poem read by Audrey Hepburn on YouTube (see below). What an extra treat! Enjoy...
And so, as Lent continues, I will try to challenge myself to live by these words each day. And, in doing so, I pray to grow in inner beauty and in love, creating a clean heart in preparation for the most holy season of Easter...
