Beauty in Brokenness

               Kintsugi is a Japanese art of repairing pottery with gold or silver lacquer with the understanding that the piece is more beautiful for having been broken. It seems a fitting image during this Lenten season. We enter this season with our brokenness and fragility. God
takes our broken pieces, filling the cracks with grace and healing.
                As we journey through Lent may we in our brokenness allow God to bring us healing.   May we witness to the Gospel through acts of compassion and understanding as we encounter brokenness in one another and the world and which we live. 
May we each grow in the art of seeing beauty where once we only saw brokenness.

  1. Amen thank you dear sister for this good prayer. May the Lord make us whole by uniting our pieces with his merciful love, writing upon us in gold words. May we unite within our prayer of love the brokenness of others, offering them words of healing, our prayer and ministry should be kintsugi 金継ぎ . God bless OSB amen.
