We are midway through Lent and most have "settled into" routines of extra mortifications, remembering the Friday abstinences, attending morning Mass when we can, and Stations of the Cross, or being a little kinder ... something we may not have done since Advent. As I reflected on the passage of John's Gospel for today, where a grain of wheat that falls to the ground, dies, and produces a rich harvest, a story came to mind that I would like to share with you on this subject.
