Thank you, MA. I am leaving shortly and I just want to share another reflection as Lent ends and the Triduum begins:

"Leo Tolstoi, the Russian writer, tells in a short story of a harsh sovereign who asked his priests and sages to show him God so that he might see him. The wise men were unable to satisfy his desire.

Then a shepherd, who was just coming in from the fields, volunteered to take on the task of the priests and sages. From him the King learned that his eyes were not good enough to see God. Then, however, he wanted to know at least what God does. "To be able to answer your question", the shepherd said to the King, "we must exchange our clothes".

Somewhat hesitant but impelled by curiosity about the information he was expecting, the King consented; he gave the shepherd his royal robes and had himself dressed in the simple clothes of the poor man.

Then came the answer: "This is what God does".
