“I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. Choose life.” Deuteronomy 30:19
On this second day of Lent, the Church challenges us to choose life, Lent, and salvation. If we don’t want Lent, we can easily ignore it. If we don’t want life and salvation, we can refuse them. We can either lose our life but gain everlasting life, or gain the whole world and lose our soul (Lk 9:24-25). The choice is ours, whether or not we want to choose. Many Christians don’t reject Lent but don’t accept it either. They’re neither hot nor cold about Lent, but lukewarm (Rv 3:16).

“The Lord God then took the man and settled him in the garden of Eden, to cultivate and care for it.” Genesis 2:15
Work was part of paradise. Man cultivated and cared for the garden of Eden before he sinned. We still experience glimpses of fulfillment and creativity in work. Yet, after the fall of man, work has been warped by sin, and our experience of work is often closer to Hell than Paradise.
The good news is that when Jesus redeemed us, He saved every aspect of our lives, including work. We no longer must earn our bread by the sweat of our brows (Gn 3:19). We have a loving Father Who knows what we need (Mt 6:32). We need not be like unbelievers, always worrying about what we are to eat, drink, or wear (Mt 6:31). If we seek first the kingdom of God, everything we need is given to us (Mt 6:33).
