Pebbles Along the Path

As we walk down our road, from time to time we notice pebbles along our way. Sometimes they're nothing more than pretty little stones, but other times they are there to remind us of battles we have fought, demons we have conquered, or even times that we've lost and learned valuable lessons in the losing. We can choose to leave the pebbles where they are and forget, or we can pick up the pebbles and turn them into markers--reminders of our journey and the lessons learned.

The Lenten Road

Walking the Lenten road,
Turning down the volume,
So as to listen more easily
To the still small voice.

Walking the path quietly,
Slowly,
So that I can better understand
The puzzle of your love.

Taking time when none exists,
Making sure not to make excuses,
Walking slowly in the rush of day,
So that your secrets might be shared.

You are the Lord of the Universe,
Yet you came to earth as a man--
One of us--
The perfect sacrifice for sin.

During these days set apart for you,
Let us remember to listen,
To think,
To contemplate your mysteries,
So that we can learn to love you more.

Amen.
