Create in me a clean heart, O God,And renew a right spirit within me.
I attended a peaceful, rejuvenating intonation of the ashes service at lunchtime. Confessing, "Lord, we have betrayed you," I acknowledged my many sins and faults. Looking forward to this Lenten season, I have determined to give up lunches out.
Often, I'll go out for lunch with friends or colleagues. I know this will be a challenge and a daily reminder of His sacrifice. The reminder will be especially significant on days when I'll be invited for Indian food.
Lord, have mercy. Chris, have mercy.Lord, have mercy on us.
