Lent 4 – Quarantine, Lead Us Not Into Temptation
The opportunity is to use our own “forty” days in the wilderness that we have been collectively given to turn away from our vanity and turn towards the only two things that really matter: finding our home in the Creator’s heart and arms, and sharing His/Her love to take in the others around us as we find that home, that Center.

In our trendy phrase, they are saying “pay it forward”.
