Atonement
———
Lent is well underway and I have not been in tune with this season of Atonement. Pleases forgive me for my lack of concern in following through with my resolve to fast after 7pm. No food after 7 is what I said to you and I have forgotten most days. We are now 10 days (I think) into Lent. I recommit myself to fasting after 7pm with the exception of Saturday’s St Patrick’s Day party. I will fast an additional 3 hours today to make up for it. I never realized that lent is a time for atonement… in order to suffer a little bit to show my sorrow over my disobedience and for committing sins. Please accept my small offering of a fast during lent to be offered at the foot of the cross-offered up to you as a small offering of my living sacrifice. Also, I will be giving extra money this lent to my sweet sponsor child, AB, and her family. Please bless them with good health and meeting all their needs. I also pray for all the other children in Children International and for all children in the world who are suffering in poverty or abuse, neglect, and sorrow. Especially I pray for all people who do not know you and live a life in darkness. Shine your light brightly through your church and may the whole world come to know and love you, Jesus. Bring all your family home for the eternal party. It will be so amazing… I can hardly wait; but I know we have much work to do still. Please help me, Jesus and Mother, please help me help you save souls. St. Faustina, help me more fully understand the divine mercy of God. Thank you for your forgiveness and guidance. Thank you for the gift of atonement. At-one-ment!
