The Lost Art of Asking for Directions

Lent is not so much about doing external things, changing this or giving up that. It's about getting down to the heart of what's off in our lives. I'm not the only one who's not always following the correct road. All of us are driving our lives off course, and none of us want to stop and ask for directions. But God wants to come into each of our lives, give us the direction we need, point us on the right way, and get us back on track. We must only have the courage and humility to get down on our knees, roll down our windows and ask for directions.   Readings at this Mass: 1 Sm 16:1b, 6–7, 10–13a | Eph 5:8–14 | Jn 9:1–41
