“Interruptions! Developing a docile attitude.” I am the kind of person who likes to focus completely on a task, be it practicing piano alone, working with my clarinetist friend on chamber music, or reading a book. We can become so focused on the tasks, the goals of our lives that we find interruptions inconvenient. The practices of Lent serve as positive interrup-tions to the routine, and may even involve gentle daily disruptions by the Holy Spirit, as we will, to enter into the following: Prayer. Can I give God permission to inter rupt my day for 15 minutes to pray? To find a quiet place to be alone with Him? A time to accomplish little, really nothing at all, but to sit with Him and his love? Fasting. We fast to remind ourselves to be grateful and to pray. Choosing to go without food or a material comfort, or abstaining from a routine or particular activity is a type of sacrifice. The goal is to arrive at gratitude for gift. We are reminded, through fasting, of contingency: that we are completely reliant upon God for the blessing of life. Almsgiving. The proper response of gratitude is generosity towards others.
