Well, I wasn’t expecting that. Years ago–2009, to be precise–I wrote a Lenten devotional as part of my discipline for the season. I reflected on the daily Mass readings and chose a saying of the desert fathers that fit with my reflection. (In terms of the Lectionary, it was Year B(II), like this year.)

Today, I am rushing–meant to be off in less than an hour to drive 5 hours south to my in-laws. So I thought I’d pull up the entry from Saturday after Ash Wednesday, 2009. And that’s all that’s there: a brief quotation from my set text for this Lent: Isaiah 58. There’s no time for reflection now, but I feel certain that my Lent is on track.

Deo gratias.
