As our Lenten Journey continues God’s Grace helps us grow closer to the Lord so we can do His Will more faithfully. May our sacrifices mold our hearts to Your Heart, so that our actions illuminate Your Love and Care to the world.
“Lent is a time for each of us to think about how and how often we love God. Do we say a prayer when we wake up to thank God for the gift of the day?
Do we say a grace, which is a prayer, when we eat breakfast, lunch, dinner or a snack?
Do we say a prayer of thanksgiving at the end of the day?
Maybe this Lent we could spend a little time thinking about focusing on Three of the Fourteen Stations of the Cross.
#4. Jesus Meets His Mother – Mary had great sorrow seeing her Son, suffer say a prayer for someone you know is suffering.
#5. Simon Helps Jesus Carry His Cross – Jesus was weak from carrying His Cross, Simon help Him along the way, look for an opportunity to help some during Lent.
#6. Veronica Wipes the Face of Jesus – Veronica offers compassion to Jesus in His suffering, this Lent look for a chance to help someone who is hurting.
Henri J. M. Nouwen wrote, “God came to us because he wanted to join us on the road, to listen to our story, and to help us realize that we are not walking in circles but moving toward the house of peace and joy.”
Each moment, of each day God invites to walk with Him as we carry our burdens and celebrate our joys. The Lord reminds us to be not afraid.
