Works In Progress

4th Sunday of Lent

I can name plenty of ways that I would be able to grow and improve; I know plenty of  areas in my life that could use some more attention and strengthening; I am a work in progress.  And Lent is about opening myself to be changed and transformed by God, because God wants to work on me as well!  God wants to make me a better me, to make me into the person He has created me to be – both for myself and others.  Paul says in our second reading that we are God’s “handiwork”.  May our Lenten practices and resolutions open us up to the ways that God wants to work on our lives and transform them for the better!
