Have faith. Be still, and listen.

 

Last week, I was looking at the pictures of the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts beside my bed. I had this strange feeling that it seemed disrespectful to display them with Easter Coming, like some respect should be paid.

 

I'd also been getting this odd feeling that I should be fasting, that was then reassured over the next few days from various sources that fasting is a necessary part of penance, and that offering up suffering is important in reparation for our sins.

 

Both the 1582 Rheims New Testament and a small book called 'This Vale Of Tears' both reinforced this necessity, and, as I researched fasting, I discovered that pre-Vatican II, Catholics fasted for the entire 40 day period of Lent, rather than just 'giving up' something for Lent.

 

Pondering on this, I noticed in the old pictures in the article, that statues were covered, and further researched lead me to discover that, pre-Vatican II, you covered your Iconography with purple cloth for the two week period from Passion Sunday until Easter Sunday.

 

I read that on the Friday before Passion Sunday. Everything is now covered out of respect.

 

I've had so many of these beautiful little instinctual experiences over the last 18 months.

 

Be still, and God will guide you.
