02.21.2023 | Fat Tuesday

Happy Fat Tuesday.  Happy Mardis Gras, or Shrove Tuesday, or Pancake Tuesday or just plain Tuesday if you wish.  It's the end of Ordinary Time and the preparation day for Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.

I'm feeling a bit like this tree today.  Feeling a bit twisty and turny on this Tuesday morning.  This tree and the world we live in right now is a bit twisted and turned. The path is not straight.  The journey is not mapped out.  Fortunately, we have mentors and helpers along the way. We have the gift of grace to lift us up when the turns are too sharp.  We carry on through faith.  We cling to hope.  We live because we love.  

It's Shrove Tuesday here in the Carondelet Garden.  A day of preparation for the journey of Lent. The journey is not mapped out but we have the tools to carry us through.  A backpack of faith, hope and love to make the journey.  That's all the news from the Carondelet Garden.
