little church. We wrote our Lent confessions, protests and
commitments on pieces of paper and burnt them in a bowl. We used the
ash from the bowl to mark our foreheads; as a sign of mourning and
repentance.
An image that has stuck with me is the idea of our Lenten fast as a
small flame.
The tiniest flame sets the whole heart ablaze.
So our fast might be something so small as the resolution to change
our attitude. To pray a certain prayer daily. To have half a spoon
less sugar in our first cup of coffee of the day.
This small flame, as insignificant as it may seem - with God's help -
ignites a larger fire...
