OUR DAYDREAMS [FEBRUARY 9, 2015]
A good part of our lives are taken up with daydreams, though few of us admit that and even fewer of us
would own-up to the contents of those fantasies. We’re ashamed to admit how much we escape into fantasy
and we’re even more ashamed to reveal the content of those fantasies. But, whether we admit it or not,
we’re all pathological daydreamers; except this isn’t necessarily a pathology. Our hearts and minds,
chronically frustrated by the limits of our lives, naturally seek solace in daydreaming. It’s an almost
irresistible temptation. Indeed the more sensitive you are, perhaps the stronger will be the propensity to
escape into daydreams. Sensitivity triggers restlessness and restlessness doesn’t easily find quiet inside
ordinary life. Hence, the escape into daydreams.
And what about the contents of those daydreams?
We tend to have two kinds of daydreams: The first kind are triggered more by the immediate hurts and
temptations within our lives; for example, a lingering hurt or anger has you fantasizing about revenge and
you play out various scenes of retaliation over and over again in your mind. Or an emotional or sexual
obsession has you fantasying about various kinds of consummation.
The other kind of daydream we escape into is not so much triggered by the hurts and obsessions of the
present moment but takes its root in something deeper, something classically expressed by St. Augustine in
the opening lines of his Confessions (a hermeneutical key for his life and our own): You have made us for
yourself Lord and our hearts are restless until they rest in you. Simply put, we are over-charged for our lives,
given infinite spirits and infinite appetites and put into this world wherein everything is finite. That’s a
formula for chronic dissatisfaction. What’s our escape? Daydreams.
However these second kind of daydreams are somewhat different from the first. They aren’t so much
focused on the immediate angers and temptations in our lives but rather are the habitual imaginary lives that
we have interiorly fashioned for ourselves, fantasy lives that we play over and over again in our minds the
way we might play and replay a favorite movie. But there’s something interesting and important to note
here. In these daydreams we are never petty or small, rather we are always noble and grand, the hero or
the heroine, generous, big-hearted, immune from faults, drawing perfect respect, and making perfect love.
In these daydreams we, in fact, intuit the vision of Isaiah where he foresees a perfect world, the lamb the
lion lying down together, the sick being healed, the hungry being fed, all restlessness being brought to calm,
and God, himself, drying away every tear. Isaiah too fantasied about perfect consummation. His fantasy was
a prophecy. In our earthy fantasies we might not prophesize but we do intuit the Kingdom of God.
With that being said, we still need to ask ourselves: How good or bad is it to escape into daydreams?
At one level, daydreams are not just harmless but can be a positive form of relaxation and a way to
steady us inside the frustrations of our lives. Sitting back in an easy chair and sinking into a daydream can be
little different than sitting back and turning on your favorite piece of music. It can be an escape that takes
the edge off of the frustrations within your life.
But there’s a potential downside to this: Since in our daydreams we are always the hero or the heroine
and the center of attention and admiration, our daydreams can easily stoke our natural narcissism. Since we
are the center of everything in our daydreams we can easily become over-frustrated with a world within
which we are not much the center of anything. And there’s more: Etty Hillesum, reflecting on her own
experience, suggests another negative consequence from habitually escaping into daydreams. She affirms
that because we make ourselves the center of the universe inside our daydreams we often end up not being
able to give anything or anybody the
simple gaze of admiration. Rather, in her strong words, in our daydreams we take in what we should be
admiring and, instead, masturbate with it. For this reason, among others, daydreams help block us from
mindfulness, from being in the present moment. When we are all wrapped-up in fantasy it’s hard to see
what’s in front of us.
So where should we go with all of this? Given both the good and bad within our daydreams and given
our near-incurable propensity to escape into fantasy, we need to be patient with ourselves. Henri
Nouwen suggests that the struggle to turn our fantasies into prayer is one of the great congenital struggles
within our spiritual lives. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin shares in his journals that when he was young he
struggled a lot with fantasy but, as he grew older, he was able more and more to stand in the present
moment without the need to escape into daydreams. That’s the task we need to set before ourselves.

God's Mercy Renews
Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my
transgressions. - Psalm 51:1
Our temptation in Lent is to be so impressed by our sins and failings and so overwhelmed by our lack of generosity
that we get stuck in a paralyzing guilt, a guilt that leads to introspection instead of directing our eyes to God.
It is guilt that becomes an idol and form of pride.
But Lent is precisely the time to break down this idol and to direct our attention to our loving Lord.
The question is: “Are we like Judas, who was so overcome by his sin that he could not believe in God's
mercy any longer and hanged himself? Or are we like Peter, who returned to his Lord with repentance and
cried bitterly for his sins?”
“You are dust, and to dust you will return.” This ancient formula will be heard by millions of Christians all over
the world this Ash Wednesday as the sign of the cross is made in ashes on their forehead. This symbolic act is both
a solemn reminder and an invitation to renewal. Lord God, this Lent help me to do my best to keep my mind fixed
on you and your Kingdom.

What Can I Do Before Lent Begins?
If I have a spouse, or children, or some close friends, or distant e-mail companions, I can begin now
to talk about how we will support each other in this Lenten journey. The anticipation and the preparation is
transformed with the companionship of family and close friends. We shouldn't be deterred by the fear that
our spouse or children or friends "won't be into it." Jesus said, "Fear is useless; what's needed is
trust." Let's begin now to tell others about our desires. Let's help support others' expectations. Let's help
others see that Lent doesn't have to be something I avoid, and certainly can't be reduced to "giving up
candy." We can help our loved ones to begin to imagine what they could receive from God in these days.
Ash Wednesday is a great place to start with our planning. "What are we going to eat?"
We shouldn't be embarrassed if we really haven't fasted in a long time, or perhaps ever before. We can plan
to intentionally have only one full meal on Ash Wednesday. We can make that meal very
meaningful and symbolic.

que es Él mismo. Y para nosotros, los consagrados,
este es el único camino que, de modo concreto y sin
alternativas, tenemos que recorrer con alegría y
perseverancia. También para nosotros, los
consagrados, ha abierto un camino.
¿Qué camino es ése?

Tu eres mi refugio; me rodeas de cantos de liberación. - Salmo 32
¿Qué significa "entrar en la Cuaresma"?
La cruz, por más pesada que sea, no es una desgracia que hay que evitar lo más
posible, sino una oportunidad para seguir a Jesús.
Pero, ¿qué significa entrar en la Cuaresma?
▪ Significa comenzar un tiempo de particular compromiso en el combate espiritual que nos
opone al mal presente en el mundo, en cada uno de nosotros y a nuestro alrededor.
▪ Quiere decir mirar al mal cara a cara y disponerse a luchar contra sus efectos, sobre todo
contra sus causas, hasta la causa última, que es Satanás.
▪ Significa no descargar el problema del mal sobre los demás, sobre la sociedad, o sobre Dios, sino que hay que
reconocer las propias responsabilidades y asumirlas conscientemente. En este sentido, resuena entre los cristianos con
particular urgencia la invitación de Jesús a cargar cada uno con su propia cruz y a seguirle con humildad y confianza
(Cf. Mateo 16, 24).
La cruz, por más pesada que sea, no es sinónimo de desventura, de una desgracia que hay que evitar lo más
posible, sino una oportunidad para seguir a Jesús y de este modo alcanzar la fuerza en la lucha contra el pecado y el
mal.
▪ Entrar en la Cuaresma significa, por tanto, renovar la decisión personal y comunitaria de afrontar el mal junto a Cristo.
La Cruz es el único camino que lleva a la victoria del amor sobre el odio, de la generosidad sobre el egoísmo, de la paz
sobre la violencia.
Desde esta perspectiva, la Cuaresma es verdaderamente una ocasión de intenso compromiso ascético y espiritual
fundamentado sobre la gracia de Cristo.
Autor: SS Benedicto XVI | Fuente: Catholic.net
¿Qué es la Cuaresma?
La Cuaresma es el tiempo litúrgico de conversión, que marca la
Iglesia para prepararnos a la gran fiesta de la Pascua. Es tiempo
para arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados y de cambiar algo de nosotros
para ser mejores y poder vivir más cerca de Cristo.
La Cuaresma dura 40 días; comienza el Miércoles de Ceniza y termina
antes de la Misa de la Cena del Señor del Jueves Santo. A lo largo de este
tiempo, sobre todo en la liturgia del domingo, hacemos un esfuerzo por
recuperar el ritmo y estilo de verdaderos creyentes que debemos vivir
como hijos de Dios.
El color litúrgico de este tiempo es el morado que significa luto y
penitencia. Es un tiempo de reflexión, de penitencia, de conversión
espiritual; tiempo de preparación al misterio pascual.
En la Cuaresma, Cristo nos invita a cambiar de vida. La Iglesia nos invita a vivir la Cuaresma como un camino
hacia Jesucristo, escuchando la Palabra de Dios, orando, compartiendo con el prójimo y haciendo obras buenas.
Nos invita a vivir una serie de actitudes cristianas que nos ayudan a parecernos más a Jesucristo, ya que por
acción de nuestro pecado, nos alejamos más de Dios.
Por ello, la Cuaresma es el tiempo del perdón y de la reconciliación fraterna. Cada día, durante toda la
vida, hemos de arrojar de nuestros corazones el odio, el rencor, la envidia, los celos que se oponen a nuestro
amor a Dios y a los hermanos. En Cuaresma, aprendemos a conocer y apreciar la Cruz de Jesús. Con esto
aprendemos también a tomar nuestra cruz con alegría para alcanzar la gloria de la resurrección.
40 días
La duración de la Cuaresma está basada en el símbolo del número cuarenta en la Biblia. En ésta, se habla de
los cuarenta días del diluvio, de los cuarenta años de la marcha del pueblo judío por el desierto, de los cuarenta
días de Moisés y de Elías en la montaña, de los cuarenta días que pasó Jesús en el desierto antes de comenzar
su vida pública, de los 400 años que duró la estancia de los judíos en Egipto. En la Biblia, el número cuatro
simboliza el universo material, seguido de ceros significa el tiempo de nuestra vida en la tierra, seguido de
pruebas y dificultades.
La práctica de la Cuaresma data desde el siglo IV, cuando se da la tendencia a constituirla en tiempo de
penitencia y de renovación para toda la Iglesia, con la práctica del ayuno y de la abstinencia. Conservada con
bastante vigor, al menos en un principio, en las iglesias de oriente, la práctica penitencial de la Cuaresma ha sido
cada vez más aligerada en occidente, pero debe observarse un espíritu penitencial y de conversión.
