Fr. Joe Newman, OSFS,, on Lent and Unfinished Projects

"I hesitate to even write this, because I know my community will bring it up at dinner.  But the things I try to hide about myself are already visible to them.  They know.  So here it is: I start projects and don't finish them. . . .

"At this point in our Lenten journey, many of us may feel like unfinished projects. The initial fervor fades.  Prayers go unsaid.  Fasting falters.  Acts of charity remain on the to-do list.  So what now?"

In a recent commentary, Father Joe Newman, OSFS, reflected on Lent as a time for being attenttive to God instead of focusing on spiritual projects.
