Blog Post 3/24/2022 – Our Lenten Journey – Listen to God


 

      Our Lenten Journey – Listen to God

 

We are going to take a 3 Day Journey with Jonah, based on the book “A Journey with Jonah: The Spirituality of Bewilderment” by Fr. Paul Murray, O.P.

 

Jonah is an ancient prophet, and Jesus explicitly refers to in the New Testament [in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke], “the sign of Jonah.”

 

Below is the link to the entire Book of Jonah 48 verses [one of the shortest Books in the Bible]: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/jonah/0

 

Jonah learned Obedience and he learned by listening to God.

 

How can you and I learn to Obey God by listening to God?

 

Our Lady of Perpetual Help, intercede for us.

St. Michael, ask God to help the Ukrainians.

May God Be Praised and your day be Blessed.

 

And with St. Francis de Sales let us remember, "We shall steer safely through every storm, so long as our heart is right, our intention fervent, our courage steadfast, and our trust fixed on God."

  1. Hi Deacon George,

    As fruit of your pastoral influence, I read/ contemplated Jonah, (& Obadiah too, actually,) so, thanks for that. (And all your ministry!)

    Peace
    Num 6: 24-26
