As we look back over these forty days, what happened? What changed for you?

The fact that the artist wanted to remain anonymous; the fact that he gave the things away; the fact that he references Pope John Paul II\u2019s very fine but practically invisible \u201cLetter to Artists\u201d; the fact that London conveniently has a \u201cKing\u2019s Cross\u201d to begin with, which provided a wonderful peg to hang this on; the insight into the psychology of commuting (which I know well) that realizes people do indeed mark stations on their regular train rides; the creative leap to the thought that they <em>could be<\/em> praying in this setting\u2014everything about this story was wonderful.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the best: The artist\u2019s pamphlet describes the project as \u201cjust a little idea for those Circle Line passengers who believe that pondering on the enormous mystery of Christ\u2019s death [and mysterious enormity of His love] could be a good thing.\u201d You have to appreciate the understatement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most ironic:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What most people planned to give up for Lent, <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.christianitytoday.com\/ctliveblog\/archives\/2012\/02\/what_people_gav_1.html\" target=\"_blank\">according to Twitter<\/a>, is social networking sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I\u2019m not even going to comment on this. You get it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Most impressive: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fr. Michael Joncas\u2019s <em>Pray Tell<\/em> posting of works-in-progress (hymns for Sundays of Lent) and his even-handed response to critics<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It takes a certain mixture of chutzpah and spiritual maturity to share creative work in progress on a blog, where the task is not only to tolerate criticism, but also to actively listen, process it, and adapt to the best of it as part of a dialogue. As I watched Mike Joncas do this at <em>Pray Tell<\/em> over the course of Lent, with his \u201chymn of the day\u201d texts for each Lenten Sunday, I was seriously impressed. There aren\u2019t many people who could pull this off. Now, it\u2019s always possible that he spit nails while away from his computer, but his responses to critics on line were completely cool and even-handed. A class act. (The texts were pretty good, too.)

Quite a few people took on the subject of Lent and lent (sorry, couldn\u2019t resist) personal interest to it by posting their favorite Lenten foods, practices (housecleaning was a popular one: 40 days \/ 40 bags of junk discarded), and more. Maybe it\u2019s because I grew up in the era of inspirational posters (I know, I am dating myself), but a word-art picture pinned there caught my eye. Here it is:<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/pinterest-love.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13847\" title=\"pinterest-love\" src=\"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/04\/pinterest-love.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"373\" height=\"476\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I like this because it describes a certain kind of conversion. \u201cI always thought\u2026 but\u2026\u201d and Lent, we sometimes forget, is <em>about <\/em>conversion. It also confronts the viewer, who may be quite sentimental, with the question: What is love, really? The cross of Christ, and the crosses we bear as disciples, are nothing without love (see 1 Corinthians 13). Yet the mystery of the cross, it seems to me, strikes to the heart of what all genuine love is. Deep human love, true love, always carries a cross\u2014joyfully, triumphantly perhaps, but a cross. In order to love, we have to be willing to accept suffering. We grow into this realization with time and experience, if we are open to it.<\/p>\n<p>See? I described this insight in 121 words.
