Approaching the middle of Lent
Can you believe that Lent is nearly half over. Yesterday was the 3rd Sunday of Lent. We have three more weeks before we reach Holy Week. About this time, our mindset should begin to change from reflecting on our sinfulness to thinking about how we can become the type of person God truly made us to be. This includes asking ourselve what steps we can take to avoid the sins we have committed in the past. It also means that we need to ask ourselves, "What is God calling me to do? What is He asking of me?" These are not simple questions and the answers are not going to be easy either. So, in these next couple of weeks we want to focus on these things.
Monday of the 3rd Week of Lent: We know that we cannot begin to heal until we have faced the truth about ouself. Pray: Eternal God, help me to face the truth about my sinfulness with honesty and trust in your help to make me anew.
Tuesday of the 3rd Week of Lent: There are many people hurting because of the way they have been treated by others. They have been scorned, persecuted or ridiculed. Pray: Give me the courage and faith to reach out to those who are put down or marginalized so that I can share your love and hope with them.
Wednesday of the 3rd Week of Lent: To be true disciples we are called not only to hear the Word of God but to live it and be an example of Christ to others. Pray: Help me to live the Gospel in what I say, how I act and what I do so that when others see me they see Christ too.
Until next time...God bless.
