“I imagine Lent for you and for me as a great departure from
the greedy, anxious antineighborliness of our economy, great departure from
our exclusionary politics that fears the other, a great departure from
self-indulgent consumerism that devours creation. And then an arrival in a new
neighborhood, because it is a gift to be simple, it is a gift to be free; it is
a gift to come down where we ought to be.”
Walter Brueggemann, A Way Other Than Our Own: Devotions for Lent
