Pause For Thought

Pause For Thought
Matt Woodcock, Church of England Pioneer Minister and Mission Supporter in the Diocese of York:
If I鈥檓 honest, Zoe, this is my least favourite day in the Christian calendar. Dreaded Ash Wednesday. The first day of Lent. The season of dogged self-denial, penitence and arduous preparation for Easter. A time us Christians seek to replicate Jesus Christ鈥檚 temptation in the desert for 40 days. Or to put it in less spiritual terms: it鈥檚 nearly six weeks before I can indulge in a guilt-free glass of craft ale. Or enjoy a late-night snaffle of chocolate flapjack. That鈥檚 960 hours, 57,600 minutes and 3.4 million seconds.
Not that I鈥檓 counting. If there was a Reverend鈥檚 report card, I reckon I鈥檇 be a D-minus when it comes to Lent. A definite 鈥榗ould do better鈥�. I鈥檓 too easily distracted. Of limited willpower. Vicar school wasn鈥檛 the greatest help. It was awash with trainee Revs trying to out-penance each other. A hothouse of dramatically pained expressions and pious boastings of the consecutive days we鈥檇 lived on lemon juice and fresh air. Our lecture hall would echo to the sound of rumbling tummies and reeked of that most unfortunate fasting side effect - terrible breath. Then there were those of us who talked a good Lent.
Made ambitious promises - but broke them within days. Sometimes spectacularly. That night after chapel prayers at The Swan and Three Cygnets was totally worth it, though. Of course - religious or not - many people embrace the spirit of this season. Take the opportunity to break a habit, make a sacrifice or take on a philanthropic challenge. I might not be a Lent natural, but I will seek to grow my inner life these next 40 days. To find space. Savour times of quiet - however fleeting. And not lose sight of - in the frenzy of what I鈥檓 giving up and taking on - the essential message of Jesus鈥檚 journey to the Easter cross: that of loving sacrifice.聽
The Archbishop of Canterbury鈥檚 special Lent prayer will be a helpful prompter. For me, it鈥檚 something to really aim for these next six weeks or so. It鈥檚 simply this: To 鈥榢now I am deeply loved. And 鈥楾o share this love with others.鈥� Above all else, I鈥檓 going to try to do that. As for my next beer and chocolate, Zoe? Only about 3.2 million seconds to go...
