Message of the Day

This week my Dad’s celebrates his 90^th birthday. I remember as a little boy when I would buy him a birthday present I wasn’t asking myself what he might really like. I was looking for something I liked. And if I’m honest I was secretly hoping that perhaps he wouldn’t and he’d end up by giving it to me anyway! That’s how mercenary we can be with our love. Translate all that into our relationship with God and others and we are in a good position to appreciate the purpose of this holy season. The repentance Lent seeks to elicit is a conversion from that cupboard love. That mercenary mindset is what it wants to undermine.

‘Move your mind’ is what that little word ‘repent’ literally means. May this Lent see our minds moving from loving God for my sake to loving God for his sake, and our hearts moving from loving others for my sake to loving others for their sake. In other words loving for Love’s own sake. May these weeks witness our conversion from cupboard love MOVING OUR MIND towards that of our Master.

Canon John Udris, Cathedral Dean
