While the artwork was all done by students, the reflections were written by our very own Faculty and Staff. This is the first ever publication for Arts & Graphics students and the first screen printing co-taught art medium. Through a wonderfully collaborative project, our very own Arts & Graphics students have created a Lenten Reflection Booklet for our community in order to help us “reflect” this Lenten season. So what MORE can you do this Lent? Reflect… It comes from asking – when you are tired and ready to quit – what more (magis) can I do. It comes from being open to growth and the “growing-pains” that comes with change. It comes from living our lives not for ourselves, but for and with others (and God). Many people think that Lent is all about suffering… and it IS! However, this suffering is not a punishment but a result of love. John has told us, Jesus said, “Love one another as I love you.” May our Lenten Season this year help us, with Christ, to experience the joy with Christ even through the difficulties of life. He says that condemning others can drive others away from us and Christ, but loving others can help others to experience that they are truly lovable. Pope Francis, a wonderful Jesuit, as we all are aware, is a person who has invited each of us not so much to condemn others but rather to love others. Let us remember that Jesus tells us, “dying and behold we live” and “whatever you do for others, you do to me.” It can even remind us that just as Jesus’ death led to His resurrection, also, our caring for others will not only make others happy, but, it can lead us to great joy and happiness. I also discovered that being kind and loving to others can be very sacrificial and difficult. I was also taught that Lent is a time where we, as Christians, should “give things up” (like candy or a favorite TV program, or other things that we liked) since this was a way that one could join Jesus in His suffering and death.īut, as time has passed, especially after the decrees of the Vatican Council (1962-65) were published, I began to realize that, while Lent can be a time of entering more closely into a relationship with Jesus in His passion and death, it is more importantly a time not so much of “giving things up,” but a time for “doing good things” (like being nice to my parents and brothers and sisters and friends and others). I was taught that Advent is a season when Christians prepared for the birth of Jesus, on December 25th, by celebrating with great joy. When I was a student at Creighton Prep (1951-55), on 24th and California Street here in Omaha, I was taught about the Season of Lent.
