Since I have my new pedometer that tracks my steps, I decided to walk to lunch today over at Jebel Weibdeh. I was excited because I would also walk to choral rehearsal tonight, but sadly that was cancelled. I had a choice to make on my return. I could walk up the larger set of steps or the shorter route. I chose the stairway with fewer steps and I could 119 consecutive steps. In the U.S., the steps often zigzag with landings where a person can stop, but on these jebels the steps go straight up with no landings. It is a great cardiovascular routine. Next time I'll reserve the strength to go up the longer flight.
I was wondering if I ought to have a St. Patrick's Day party at the parish because it would be held on the First Sunday of Lent. As I walked along, I saw a shamrock and picked it up. Confirmation! We will have it.
I am a Jesuit priest of the USA East Province who has an avocation of binding art and creativity to spirituality. I have a SoWa (South End) studio in Boston and I give retreats and spiritual direction using creative techniques to make a person's Ignatian prayer particular and unique. Ignatian Spirituality is the cornerstone of my work; art, poetry, prose is a way to help us get to the heart of conversations in prayer.

ReplyDeleteIt is health food, yes!
DeleteAs a member of St. Patrick's Parish, I agree that you should have a party! I am told that Sundays are free days during Lent so party on!
ReplyDeleteThey are the Lord's Days, so fasting is never done during these days of celebration.
