To-day is the first day of Lent.
Lord Jesus Christ, you let yourself be nailed to the Cross,
accepting the terrible cruelty of this suffering, the
destruction of your body and your dignity. You allowed
yourself to be nailed fast; you did not try to escape or to
lessen your suffering. May we never flee from what we are
called to do. Help us to remain faithful to you. Help us to
unmask the false freedom which would distance us from you.
Help us to accept your "binding" freedom, and, "bound" fast
to you, to discover true freedom.
