Lent reminds us of our frailty. Lent reminds us of one anothers' frailty. And we join together in our weakness to hope together towards the strong Kingdom of God in which our frailty is but a distant memory. I love the idea of C.S. Lewis of the heaviness of our future existence. We will be vividly strong and present to one another. But for now we need to bear one another up and supply whatever strength we possess to one another. Acts of charity are characteristic of Lent. Notice one another. Care for one another. Practice random acts of kindness towards one another that we may celebrate the Kingdom's heaviness in advance. What might I do? For whom might I care? Who is in my circumstances, frail? Ideas?
