WEEKLY MEDITATION 


The tragedy greater than all others is to be blind and to say that we can see. There are so many areas where we are perilously blind to the ways in which our actions, words, thoughts, and desires have jeopardized our eternal salvation. Our redemption in Christ must begin with an honest assessment of our fallen nature, with our intellects darkened and our wills weakened, wounded by the effects of the sin of Adam and Eve.

We dread to hear our Lord speak these words in judgment of us: " 'But we see', you say, and your sin remains." Self-righteousness and hypocritical posturing are abhorrent to God, who favors us when we embrace our true place before him as Our Lady does, one of humility and gratitude, of praise and thanksgiving. This is accomplished by heeding the Lord's call for repentance through authentic conversion. Our Lenten journey toward Easter cannot be complete without the fullness of God's mercy granted in sacramental Confession. Since all are with sin, all are in need of repentance. In Lent we must let the scales fall from our eyes, to see ourselves as we truly are before our thrice-holy God. Whether or not we are conscious of mortal sin, Confession always grants the graces of Christ to the repentant sinner.
