Lenten vespers meditation, week 1

Pay it
Forward

5 value - Virtual OK - Posted Mar 08, 2017

Every year I resolve to make a good lent, and every year I am once again confronted with my failings. A bit of a pattern there :)
Anyway, I wanted to share a bit of my approach to things, both to perhaps help the reader, and to remind myself. I originally wrote this years ago, but microsoft saw fit to dispose of almost all of my writing when my laptop upgraded! Ok, on to the good stuff, unfortunately abridged:
The Undiscovered Country
In the Catholic faith, we understand that at baptism, we are anointed to the offices of priest, king and prophet. What this really means is that every single person we meet is a country unto themselves: they have their own culture and history, allegiances, conflicts, pride and struggle. I try to always remember then that with every person I meet, it is a diplomatic mission and a meeting of heads of State.
On a personal level, it can be helpful to reflect on how well I am fulfilling these offices for myself: am I bravely leading, am I exercising wisdom in choosing allies, am I serving the cause of peace in this world. Am I a benevolent king, a faithful priest, a forthright prophet unafraid to speak the words of truth?

Interesting meditation. I didn't know what Lenten vespers was, but I enjoy all types of meditation so I was eager to learn.

Anne is so amazing. She did an incredible job researching the ancestry of my family. I never thought I would actually care about this so much, but it... is really cool learning about your connections to other parts of the world. Anne is very thorough and professional. Fantastic job!show more

Anne has a wonderful sense of humor. Planting weeds in place of seeds, will definitely make the hall of shame *wink wink*. Thank you Anne for your gen...uine soul, and your dedication to the light. You will be in my prayers as you take on the task that Heaven has given you, and I am routing for you. Thanks for taking a chance on me with your private life and healing. I respect your vulnerability and look forward to an update and a new friend. God Bless. show more

About Anne Varberg

Philosophical ENFP, not tied particularly to doing things the typical way. Idealistic volunteer. Not good at the rat race. Healer instincts. Part Sami - my kiddo teases me for being an oppressed whit...e person - they keep me grounded and somewhat humble ;) bad catholic hoping to attain heaven along with everybody else because otherwise it'd be a pretty boring place and I don't think God is boring like that. I see God in you :)show more
