Art & Environment Committee~ Since the first Sunday of Lent, we have been journeying with the candidates who are engaged in the Rite of Christian Initiation. The three scrutinizes they celebrate during Lent are excellent opportunities for the rest of us to again take stock of our personal Lenten initiatives and our listening to the Word. During the Liturgy of the Word, we acknowledge in unison after each reading the sacredness of what we hear by saying "The Word of the Lord." The Word of God is unlike any other word. Even the guards who were sent to arrest Jesus in Jerusalem at the Feast of the Tabernacles did not do so. "Why did you not bring him?" they were asked. Their response, "Never before has anyone spoken like this one." (Jn 7:40-53) Let us continue to free our minds of our daily preoccupations for a time, and let the Word fill it instead. By doing this, slowly and prayerfully to whatever God has to say to each of us, we may hear something we had not expected.
