“We have ‘de-incarnated’ God and are now left with a planet stripped of spiritual soul. Is there hope? Yes, where there is God, there is hope and future, but the Gospel message is clear: hope is what dawns when new wine is put into new wineskins. The old must die for the new to be born. So let us be attentive and be ready for the birth of the new in our midst”
—Ilia Delio, Lent: Poised for Action
“Hemos ‘des-encarnado’ a Dios y ahora lo que nos queda es un planeta sin alma espiritual. ¿Habrá esperanza? Sí, allí donde está Dios hay esperanza y futuro. Pero el mensaje del Evangelio es claro: la esperanza es lo que surge cuando ponemos vino nuevo en odres nuevos. Lo viejo debe morir para que nazca lo nuevo. Así que estemos atentos y preparados para el nacimiento de lo nuevo en medio de nosotros.”

Incarnational Practice: Birthing
What better time than Lent to take a look at our old wineskins and replace them with new ones. As we watch the first spring blooms being born, let us be attentive to what is birthing in our own lives. What tastes bitter and requires a new container? What does this new wineskin look like?
