Lent Meditations
40 Days in the Vineyard
Day 2: Bring back some fruit of the land
The topography of our life, or where we are “located” in the world, influences our life. Wherever you are planted – on a “hill” or in a “valley” – is where God, the Master Gardener, decided you would flourish best.
Day 4: The vineyard of the Lord
God, as the Gardener in Isaiah’s poem, planted a vine in good soil and gave it everything it needed to flourish. But the vine (Israel) produced “bad grapes” by ignoring God’s mandate to care for the poor. We are also a planting of the Lord, invited to live generously.
