Repent, the Kingdom is at hand!
A couple Lenten tidbits from friends of Oddwalkia – first, D. Scott Miller:
This is our prayer as we begin Lent.
Lord, today, as is each day, is the day of salvation. Now is a very acceptable time. Create within us clean hearts, O God, and renew steadfast spirits within us.
We who know sin seek to be reconciled with You, God. Great is your compassion and your goodness, O Lord, be merciful for we have sinned. Wipe out our offenses, wash away all our guilt, and cleanse us from our sin.
Lord, today, as we should each day, we proclaim a fast. We do this not to win the praise of others, We strive not to be hypocrites blowing our own horn before others. No, no, no, Lord, we desire to return to You with our whole hearts with fasting, and weeping, and mourning; Take pity on Your people.
And from comedian Judy McDonald:
And lastly, from us, our new Lenten song, “Fill Us, O God”
Blessed Lent, all!

New pOddcast, pOddcast Updates!
Well, shame on gcast – they’ve shut down the uploading of new audio, and hence our pOddcast, at least in that iteration. Bah.
But – we’ve already got a new pOddcast set up, right here through WordPress! We’ve posted the player to the bottom of this post too (probably won’t show up when this gets ported over to facebook and such though).
Here’s the direct link to the new pOddcast page on the main site.
Your iTunes subscription, if you had one, is now dead, but we should get a new one sometime soon, we’ll update you all when that happens, hopefully.
For now, here’s that player we promised, and a pretty rough version of our new Lenten song, “Fill Us, O God” – enjoy!
Fill Us, O God (2/10/10) – A new Lenten song from Shannon and Orin

A new Lenten song from Oddwalk, which Orin will use at the Shrine this year! Let us know if you’d like the piano/guitar/harmony parts. Hopefully a simple recording will follow, if Orin has enough time over the next week or so. For now, enjoy, and consider using the prayer – one of repentance and communal conversion.

Caption Contest – “One of these things is not like the others…”
This photo was snapped this past Holy Week at the Shrine during a rehearsal for a stations of the cross. Pictured are Barabbas, Pilate, Jesus, and Orin.

pOddcast – Gather at the Cross
On Oddwalk’s recent trip to Bermuda to lead retreats, both days of retreats we ended with a closing prayer where we invited the students to gather around a large wooden cross we had found backstage in their theater. We invited the teens to pray, and reflect that while the cross of Christ is heavy, and that while we’re all called to carry our own, we can, much of the time, lean on the support of our Christian community for help.
Returning home, Orin was inspired to write a new piece for the veneration of the cross, one of his favorite liturgical moments of the Triduum. Subconsciously moved by the Bermuda experience, he wrote the song new on the pOddcast today, “Gather at the Cross” — it’s just a quick demo done in GarageBand, and it actually has nearly endless verses, but you can get a taste by listening in to the recent upload. You can find the pOddcast in the sidebar, just look for the gcast window or the iTunes logo.
We’ll be singing it at the Shrine today during the 3pm service.
A blessed Good Friday to all.
