Prayer For Today
Eight Sunday in O.T C 01-03-March 2025
Communion Reflection:
O Father, give us the humility which realizes its ignorance, admits its mistakes, recognizes its need, welcomes advice, accepts rebuke. Help us always to
praise rather than to criticize, to sympathize rather than to discourage, to build rather than to destroy, and to think of people at their best rather than at
their worst. This we ask for your name's sake.
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.
