Sabbath Sunday: Failure
As we continue our Lenten journey, I am reminded again and again of how easy it is to give in to failure. Our job as Christians is to keep getting up. This post from last year is a good reminder that Christians have been prone to failure since the beginning. You can read it here.
Once again you are invited to join me in promoting the Sabbath by taking a break from your normal blogging. Please share an older post from your blog that is near and dear to your heart. Make sure to leave your name and the URL of your post below and share a comment if you so desire. I look forward to reading your recycled posts!

Grace in failure.
‘Be merciful, just as your father is merciful’
Your post on Failure slammed right into what I was writing about on Saturday but will finish and post on Tuesday (“Please, Lord, Give Me Another Chance!”) — incredible remorse and a strong feeling of sheer stupidity on bungling an easy tasking from our wonderful Master. I cannot even go to confession this week because Fr. Ed, our English-speaking priest, is in Ireland — his mother passed away — and although I do upon occasion attend and understand the Spanish Mass, my spoken Spanish is not good enough to go to the Spanish-speaking priest (nor is his English good enough to respond to me). So, I am grateful for your post; it reminded me that God does understand and forgive when we make mistakes.
Thanks for the posts one and all!
Glad that the post was helpful Elizabeth! And I understand the feeling of not “getting it” as being a priest who has some spanish skills, but many times feeling inadequate, especially in the confessional, in a second language!
