The prophet Joel sets a tone for earnestly seeking to be restored in right relationship with God. As laid out in the Gospel reading, taken from the Sermon on the Mount, we take up the practices of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving so that we can restore our right relationship with God.
We do all these practices because it is now the time, as St. Paul writes. With the Triduum on the way, we seek to go deeper in our relationship with God, Who came to restore us to Who He created us to be, taking the initiative to reconcile us. May we live our days constantly seeking after this God Who has sought after us so profoundly.
