Spiritual Renovation
A new beginning.
Spirit within awakens
through fasting and prayer.
Sacrifice. Penance.
Redirecting life towards
a holier path.
May hearts be humbled
so that Christ's light can shine through
this season of Lent.

I'm still working on my post for today. I don't really know what to do with it. But YOURS is fabulous! Thank you for reminding me that the most effective renovations are interior, not exterior.
Lovely! I took a similar approach on this most holy of days.
Peace be with you.
Oh right, it's Ash Wednesday! Had to look at my calendar when I saw Janet's comment. Cool interpretation of theme :)
Have a great day!
I like it. Like a look within mixed with a holiday greeting.
You are such an inspiration! I will point people to you when they say in that oh, so judgemental tone that Catholics aren't really Christian. My grandfather was the most devoutly Christian man I have ever known. (stepping off soap box)
Very deep thanks for sharing your wonderful way of expressing your world for us!
Though I'm only tangentially, vaguely spiritual, I enjoy giving things up for Lent. It fortifies the will.
Truly refreshing.
I love it, so true that we are so humbled.
stay blessed.

Ah, you took the same path I did! Very well done haikus.
This couldn't be more perfect!

Just wonderful, and a feel of serenity in my soul..
"May hearts be humbled, so that Christ's light can shine through..."
Just beautiful words!!!
Very nice.
These are just wonderful. Well done my friend :)
I am just too rule driven! I couldn't fit Lent in 17 syllables, so I went with something else all together! Your haiku are very timely & well done.
Well done, Polly. So touching and inspirational.
I hope you have had a Holy Ash Wednesday. I still need to do my daily Rosary!
Beautiful, intent and intense.
Very nice and perfect for Ash Wednesday.

It's crucial! For all of us to understand that the most effective renovations aren't the exterior but the interior!
I love this post , Polly!
