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
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.
Sr. Kimberly Porter, OSB
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.
