Tuesday of Lent II - Remembrance
We are reminded in many ways of the quiet ministries of the spirit of the living God in our lives and in the life that abounds around us. The little healings of the silent breaches, the great redemptive acts when times are out of joint, the lifting of our horizons of hope when to have hope seems to be against all wisdom and against all judgment, the stirring of the will to forgive when for so long a time we have been buried under an avalanche of great hostilities - there are so many ways by which the ministry of the living God tutors the spirit, corrects the times, gives life to the days.
