40 Shades of Lent by Fr. Nicanor F. Lalog II
Wednesday in the Third Week of Lent, 06 March 2024
Deuteronomy 4:1, 5-9     ><}}}}*> + <*{{{{><     Matthew 5:17-19

Lent is remembering
especially because we are
beings of forgetfulness;
but, teach us Father,
that to remember you
is not like in remembering
an equation or a formula
as a task of the mind
or intellect;
to remember you, O God,
in the spirit of Lent is 
to surrender ourselves to
you whom we do not see
but present among our
brothers and sisters;
to remember you, dear God, 
is to surrender ourselves
to your Holy Will
that are not mere laws
and decrees
but the very person
of your Son Jesus Christ.

Jesus said to his disciples: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to yo, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place.”

Matthew 5:17-18

To remember and keep your laws,
dear God is to remember and keep you
found in our brothers and sisters
through your Son Jesus Christ;
indeed, the greatness of any
nation is measured to a large part
in its legal system, in how it is justly
implemented and observed:

Moses spoke to the people and said: “Observe them carefully for thus will you give evidence to your wisdom and intelligence to the nations, who will hear of all these statutes and say, ‘This great nation is truly wise and intelligent people.’ For what great nation is there that has gods so close to it as the Lord, our God, is to us whenever we call upon him? Or what great nation has statutes and decrees that are just as this whole law which I am setting before you today?’”

Deuteronomy 4:1, 6-8

Father, in this season of Lent,
may we recover and put into practice,
not just remember that your laws
are fulfilled in Christ when we love;
how sad that love of God
and love of neighbors
is your law we often forget,
and find hard to remember
because we keep it in our minds
than in our hearts where you dwell.

Most of all, to remember
means to make one a member
of the present moment again:
help us remember in making
you present always in our love
and good works.
Amen.
