DESCRIPTION:We have four Sundays this year between the end of Epiphany and
  the start of Lent\, and these help us to set the scene for Lent.\n\nToday
 \, 16th February\, 3rd Sunday before Lent\, we hear the Sermon on the Moun
 t\, as reported in Luke's gospel\, with both its 'blesseds' and its 'woes'
 . \n\nAs we approach Lent\, it is a good time to reflect on the ways in wh
 ich we live out our faith\, both through our deliberate actions but also t
 hrough the sort of people that we are.  “To be a Christian\,” wrote Di
 etrich Bonhoeffer\, “does not mean to be religious in a particular way .
 ..but to be a real human being. It is not the religious act that makes the
  Christian\, but participation in the sufferings of God in the secular lif
 e.”\n\nWe often give things up for Lent. But let’s try giving up somet
 hing that cocoons us from the pain that others are feeling\, which God suf
 fers alongside them. Let’s reach through and be there for someone. And a
 t least stand alongside them in the things that are hurting them.
