@CSLewisDaily: Real belief in it (the forgiveness of sins) is the sort of thing that very easily slips away if we don't keep on polishing it up. CSLewis

To Keep a True Lent

TO KEEP A TRUE LENT.by Robert Herrick

Is this a fast, to keep
                The larder lean ?
                            And clean
From fat of veals and sheep ?

Is it to quit the dish
                Of flesh, yet still
                            To fill
The platter high with fish ?

Is it to fast an hour,
                Or ragg’d to go,
                            Or show
A downcast look and sour ?

No ;  ‘tis a fast to dole
                Thy sheaf of wheat,
                            And meat,
Unto the hungry soul.

It is to fast from strife,
                From old debate
                            And hate ;
To circumcise thy life.

To show a heart grief-rent ;
                To starve thy sin,
                            Not bin ;
And that’s to keep thy Lent.

RT @lensweet: The prophetic voice is one of authority, not of our authority, but of humility to Christ's authority.

@CSLewisDaily: We are not offered forgiveness on any other terms. It's perfectly clear that if we do not forgive we shall not be forgiven

The offices of bishops, priests, and deacons are defined not as dignities but as a service; they are in "service of communion."-Msgr. Murphy

@CSLewisDaily: None can give to another what he does not possess himself. No generation can bequeath to its successor what it has not got

@CSLewisDaily: God intends to give us what we need, not what we now think we want. #CSLewis
