There is some leprosy in all of us. Lent is the perfect time to come to terms with the damage it is doing to our bodies, hearts, and souls and make our way to Jesus and say with the leper, “If you will to do so, you can cure me.”
Prayer and meditation must become a priority if we are going to hear the word of God. It is not a contest, and there are no grades. Just be still and listen. Are the words you hear stirring your heart with love and hope?
