Think of God’s mercy, my brothers, and worship him, I beg you, in a way that is worthy of thinking beings, by offering your living bodies as a holy sacrifice, truly pleasing to God. Do not model yourselves on the behaviour of the world around you, but let your behaviour change, modelled by your new mind. This is the only way to discover the will of God and know what is good, what it is that God wants, what is the perfect thing to do. - Romans 12:1-2
We're less than two weeks away from the end of Lent, where we commemorate the Last Supper of the Lord. Has the last 33 days been fruitful? Paul reminds us - pleads with us - to remember God's mercy. He urges us to worship Him in a worthy fashion; he suggests that this can be done by first changing our behaviour, turning from the world's ways, and modelling ourselves according to God's ways. Of course, Lent is not the only window to do this. But this season does present a fantastic opportunity. We must grab it.
