4th Sunday of Lent A 19 March
Communion Reflection
Lord Jesus, in your name the blind see, the lame walk, and the dead are raised to life. Come into our lives and heal the wounds of our broken hearts. Give us eyes of faith to see your glory and hearts of courage to bring you glory in all we say and do.
Lent is for us the privileged season of change, of transformation, transfiguration. Our complacent and guilty faces have to be changed into faces of joy and love and service. The face of our world is to be changed from injustice into integrity, from hatred into kindness and friendship. We are afraid of change, especially at the cost of ourselves. Today Jesus shows us the way. He saw suffering and death waiting for him and so his face and heart were sad. But then the Father made Jesus’ face radiant for he would find life and resurrection and his face became radiant with joy and glory. If we follow Jesus and let him transform us our face will become radiant too.

ANNOUNCEMENT
OUR LENTEN JOURNEY :
LENT A TIME FOR FASTING AND FEASTING, A TIME TO RENEW,
RECOMMIT AND REVIVE OUR SPIRITUAL SELVES.
What Should I Give Up for Lent?
Chocolate? - Ice Cream? – Beer -
Cooldrinks?
Many of us try to be more disciplined for
Lent and give up something that we really
like. That’s great! Fasting has always been
an important tradition of Lent. This year
however, let us also consider other things
that we can give up.
Give up complaining - Focus on gratitude
Philippians 2:14&15 – Do everything without
complaining or arguing, so that you may
become blameless and pure.
1 Thessalonians 5:18 – Give thanks in all
circumstances, for this is God’s will for you
in Jesus Christ.
Give up bitterness - Turn to forgiveness
Ephesians 4:31 – Get rid of all bitterness,
rage and anger, brawling and slander, along
with every form of malice.
Ephesians 4:32 – Be kind and compassionate
to one another, forgiving each other, just
as in Christ, God forgave you.
Give up worry - Trust in God
Matthew 6:25 – Therefore I tell you, do
not worry about your life... who by worrying
can add a single hour to his life?
Matthew 6:33 – But seek first His Kingdom
and His righteousness, and all these things
will be given to you as well.
Give up discouragement - Be full of hope
Deuteronomy 31:8 – The Lord himself goes
before you and will be with you: he will
never leave you or forsake you. Do not be
afraid; do not be discouraged.
Isaiah 40:31 – But those who hope in the
Lord will renew their strength.
