I would add Louis deWohl’s The Spear. I had to read it once for a magazine assignment and it happened to be Holy Week. The book helped make it the holiest week ever. I also like the inclusion of My Path to Heaven. It’s been a good number of years since I’ve used it, but my kids got a lot out of it and enjoyed it.
I have to find a work to do for God that is extra in Lent because I’m not Anna the prophetess and I’m already on a severe diet and if I give up any more food, I’ll suffer a molybdenum and riboflavin deficit. My dessert is to have keylime curd on those 1.3 inch square cocktail bread slices. I could give up tech….tv….but not facetime on my other ipad2 ( gift from a thoughtful stepson because his baby needed me)… facetime to a little girl in Taiwan for whom I play conga riffs from Santana while she dances and laughs half an earth away….we both have flow as the street calls it….my step grand daughter…Chinese and she has flow and God put her with me who always had flow….one of His rhyming thingies. Not giving up facetime.
Anna the prophetess in the Presentation scene scares me to no end….she fasted day and night and never left the temple the text says. The Holy family didn’t live like that. Was she going too far? Carthusian monks go on communal walks once a week. Not Anna.
Luke 2:37…” She never left the temple, but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.” Anna, you’re making me afraid with your fasting more than anyone in the Bible…and you fasted from location pleasure. John the Baptist could move around the river bank here and there. Christ had location variety and came “eating and drinking”. Who are you Anna? Why did the liturgy remind us of you now? You and your super hard ways….harder than the men of the Bible. Anna, stop looking at my glass of Malbec…I’m helping Argentina…a Catholic country. Elijah would have marveled at you…ravens brought him meat and bread at the Kerith ravine…and he roamed around. Anna…stop haunting me with your example….I’ll think of something to give up.
There…is that what you wanted from each of us down the millenia?
