Turn Upward (Thirteenth Day of Lent)
If we just turn inward, as important as that is, we might be overwhelmed by guilt and fear or we might be tempted by pride and arrogance; cause our turning inward to lead us to turn upward towards you, O God.
If we just turn downward, as important as that is, we might be overcome by our mortality or we might become obsessed with our physicality; cause our turning downward to lead us to turn upward towards you, O God.
May all our turnings lead us to turn to you, O God, that we might always be aware of who you are and so we might understand who we are in light of who you are; may our turning toward you keep us in awe of your majesty and also of your grace and love.
Amen.
