Prayer For Today
God is patient with us, even when we turn away from him and sin. God is always hopeful that we will ask for his forgiveness. God doesn't give up on us. Instead, God continually reaches out to us, helping us to become the people that he intends for us to be.
3rd Sunday Lent 23-03-March 2025
Communion Reflection:
Lord Jesus, increase my hunger for you that I may grow in righteousness and holiness. May I not squander the grace of the present moment to say "yes" to you and to your will and plan for my life.
A PASTOR’S LENTEN ENCOURAGEMENT:
For a lot of people, Lent is a season for making resolutions. They give up chocolate or sweets. They're going to pray more, or actually go to church every Sunday. Lent is a time for all of us—those who have known Christ for many years and those who have yet to encounter him—to clarify and reaffirm our intentions. Do we desire to seek God? Will we, with intention, diligence, and discipline, seek him? Or will we just float along, hoping to
stumble upon God here and there?
Use this season wisely as a time of preparation for growth. Use this season to walk the hills and valleys of your clife and identify the obstacles preventing you from seeking God. Put in place good disciplines that will help you connect with God. Use this season of Lent to truly seek the Lord, the one who is longing to be found. May this jubilee Lent truly make us “PILGRIMS’’. Pope Francis writes: “The season of Lent during this Jubilee Year should also be lived more intensely as a privileged moment to celebrate and experience God’s mercy, but above all the great HOPE of encountering the RISEN CHRIST. In this Jubilee Year, may the Church echo the word of God that resounds strong and clear as a message and a sign of pardon, strength, aid, love and HOPE. May she never tire of extending mercy, and be ever patient in offering hope, compassion and comfort.
