Field Notes - Lent Day 1

Lent day 1
Canon of St. Andrew Part 1
Beautiful.
*
Orthoman has agreed that
we can have a more Ukrainian meal for the
reception;
I love perogies.
Orthoman said because he loved me
I can have the meal I desire.
I agreed that we can have cheesecake
for dessert.
*
You know it is lent when one already begins
dreaming about cheesecake.
*
Seriously though,
I can see that one of the biggest struggles
is that so many things are a distraction to us
from having a spiritual life,
from prayer.
*
Lord help us and have mercy!
