Thursday of the Second Week in Lent

To Be is to Stand For — Heschel

Too often in our consumer-oriented society, we fall prey to the spiritually dangerous notion that we are what we have. We spend our lives convincing ourselves of this myth until it is us who are spent. We believe it and so does everyone else.

Our goals, values, and beliefs are what truly shape our identity.During Lent we focus on our goals, values, and beliefs and usually when we do, there is no room for what we have.
