Summary
“The sojourn of Lent, if we are able to abide it,” writes Debra Murphy, “is 40 days of contending with our mortality so that we might more fully know what it means to live.”
Remembering we are dust is no invitation to passivity. It is a call to contend against evil and to resist whatever power or person that would lead us away from love of God and neighbor.
