Born of the Spirit

The real question of the Lenten season is how will I clear out the junk and garbage in my life so that I can be restored to God in some fresh way? What are the disciplines that will open up space for God to create a clean heart and new spirit in me?"
​- Ruth Haley Barton, founder of the Transforming Center
"God has made everything beautiful in its time. He has set eternity in the human heart." - Ecclesiastes 3:11
Affirmative prayer:  On this Ash Wednesday, I look within and see that I am fully human and fully divine, for I am born of the Spirit. I open to the boundless possibilities of my life, and to the Love-Intelligence of God that forever returns me to the essence of my true being. Thank you, God, forever. Amen.
