|
|
The Cleansing of the Temple
Our Lenten journey requires not just stamina, but vision. With the eyes, we must take in information and draw on its content for meaning and direction; with the heart, we must discern deeply in order to read and perceive the signs along the way. Vision requires not only that the eye perceives correctly, but that the heart responds appropriately towards the direction of our deepest hopes and desires.
