Today the prophet Joel asks us to rend our hearts not our garments. Our hearts are already ripped apart from the almost 500k who have died, the attempted coup in DC, the loneliness of isolation. Today don’t think about rending your hearts anymore than they already are. Instead mend your heart by reaching out to others who are hurting, by calling a lonely friend, writing to an elderly relative who can’t go out, dropping off food to your local pantry. Have a blessed Lent!
