Two Gardens
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
Lent, the springtime of the Church, situates us
between two gardens- the garden of Eden, that lush middle Eastern paradise
where the first Adam lost his innocence and the garden of the Resurrection on
Easter morning where the new Adam wounded and resurrected will walk in peace
restoring our lost innocence. In between we spend 40 days with Christ Jesus our Lord in
the desert, the place where wild beasts and demons are most at home, this place
of self-knowledge, where we discover who we are and what we most desperately need- Mercy in abundance.
