Amazing things can happen when we least expect it.

A long overdue promotion is finally bestowed upon the worthy, a surprising call from a long-lost friend or family member that was seeped in bitterness now bears sweetness, or finding a renewed relationship with God among life’s vicissitudes.

Each demonstrates the unpredictability of life, and its inconspicuous grand gestures that await those who are open-minded.

It also usually requires some human action to manifest a desirable outcome. With such an intense focus on our own needs and cravings, recognizing another’s lack or precarious happenstance may evade our radar.

Has your perspective changed?

Often, we require nudging, and Lent can provide the essential tools for a belated revision of our focus or relief from the bombardment of the tragedies and overwhelming news that continuously pervade our sensibilities.

How is one to digest it all?

Lent holds the answer: by slowing down, praying, fasting, refraining from a preferred food or activity, and goodwill toward others.

Take a small step.

Pray, right now.

Call upon the Lord and ask for His peace to fill you, and once you feel calm, ask for that peace to be generated to everyone around you.

Visualize your home tranquil and luminous with God’s Light.

Then request that all those individuals be vessels to transfer Peace to many more, and witness this amazing transaction in your mind radiating outward to fill everyone – peacefully, joyfully, lovingly.

Now do this each day of Lent to solidify its powerful remediation.

You likely feel much better, with more clarity and serenity, and all those people you included in your prayer – near and far will boast the rewards that you set in motion.

A simple kindness changes everything.

Your intention can alter your disposition and multitudes of others’ with this quick prayer, which makes it possible for additional good deeds to unfold.

Lent is a journey.

It takes twenty one days for an action to become a habit. With forty days of Lent setting your framework, you’ll be a true peacemaker.
