WHY SHOULD I PRAY?
“Your Father knows what you need before you ask him.” – Mt. 6:8
Prayer is a gift that draws me into an intimate relationship allowing me to discern the desires God puts in my heart.
MY INHERITANCE
“Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.” – Matt 25:34
The news is filled with so many calls to action right now ... Do I try to feed ALL the hungry...?
LOOKING WITH LOVE
Jesus answered, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick; I have come to call not the righteous but sinners to repentance." - Lk 5:31-32
I am amazed at the way you look at Matthew, calmly, peacefully, mercifully. Your look changed his life.
THE LONGING OF GOD
“This is the fasting that I wish: sharing your bread with the hungry, sheltering the oppressed and the homeless; clothing the naked when you see them.” - Is 58:6-7
Too often we begin Lent with secondary longings. We long for our peace, forgiveness, healing … But are they primary?
LENT: A LINGERING SHADOW
“Choose life, then, that you and your descendants may live, by loving the LORD, your God, heeding his voice, and holding fast to him. For that will mean life for you.” – Deut. 30:19-20
Sometimes Lent sneaks up on us. Other times, the dying with Christ has been lurking behind us like a lingering shadow ...
A LENTEN PILGRIMAGE PRAYER
Jesus: today, Lent begins. I want to follow you, to become a pilgrim, to travel to another place, existentially and geographically, and learn to trust you more radically along the way.
