We might need to be reconciled with God... We might need to be reconciled with our neighbor... We might need to be reconciled with our church... We might need to be reconciled with ourselves... We might need to be reconciled with...

Lent is a time when we can be serious about reconciliation. And if we are serious about reconciliation then we must be serious about naming where there is alienation in our lives because that's where we're in need of reconciliation...We can be quite blind about ourselves.
