There is a pattern of disobedience in ancient Judaism.
This will always lead to suffering.
This isn't a bad thing because God remains faithful and merciful.
The same applies to us.
This Lent, ask yourself: What of me needs to be purified so that I can again become capable of receiving the goodness, the mercy of the Lord?
