The Valley Light Newsletter

March – April 2022

Minister’s March– April Message

We are officially moving in the Season of Lent, our time of spiritual preparation for Easter. Lent is a traditional time of fasting in which followers of certain religious faiths give up meat or some other food for 40 days. That

May be a healthy thing to do; but does it really have anything to do with spirituality?

In Unity, we encourage people to make Lent their spiritual practice. We do this by Fasting from negativity, i.e., giving up the negative mental practices of fear, worry, anger, complaining, criticism, condemnation, apathy, stinginess and lack. I know this is quite a list; but just do your best to release thoughts and emotions that you already know are harmful to your well being and realize that negative emotions do have a weakening effect on your health and enjoyment of life.

Fasting from the negative is a good, rich experience because it prepares the way for you to Feast on the spiritual (or positive) ideas of Love, Life, Peace, Joy, Appreciation, A


cceptance, Beauty, Generosity and Abundance.

Rev Jeri Linn
