 Fourth Sunday of Lent: Jesus Heals Below is a meditation and reflection to help you on your Lenten journey and to draw closer to Jesus. Begin with this prayer: Jesus, help me to trust that You long to bring me healing and strength. SCRIPTURE MEDITATION: Read slowly, 3-4 times. Allow the words of Scripture to wash over your mind and heart. Allow the Holy Spirit to speak to you through this passage. “‘Not as man sees does God see, because man sees the appearance, but the LORD looks into the heart.’ [...] Then Samuel, with the horn of oil in hand, anointed David in the presence of his brothers; and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David.” 1 Samuel 16:7b,13a REFLECTION QUESTION: Allow yourself to sit with these questions for a while, being attentive to how the Lord is speaking in your heart. Knowing that Jesus sees into the recesses of the heart, where in your heart is Christ's healing needed the most? Is there a place in your heart where you have never allowed the Lord to go? Ask Jesus for the grace to allow his spirit to “rush” upon that place to heal any wounds or sickness hidden there. SCRIPTURE MEDITATION: Read slowly, 3-4 times. Again, allow the words of Scripture to wash over your mind and heart. Let the Holy Spirit speak to you through this passage. “They brought the one who was once blind to the Pharisees. [...] So then the Pharisees also asked him how he was able to see. He said to them, ‘He put clay on my eyes, and I washed, and now I can see.’” John 9:13-15 REFLECTION QUESTION Jesus, the Good Physician, knows our weaknesses of body, heart, and mind. He longs to heal us in ways we cannot imagine. Ask Jesus to help you "see” his providential care. Ask for the eyes to recognize his healing presence in your life, and thank him for this healing. Remain in silence with the Lord. Allow Him to speak in the silence, in your heart. Receive His presence. If it helps, write down what you sense the Lord communicating to you during this time of prayer. SUNDAY MASS CONNECTION At every Mass, Jesus offers himself to the Father for us. We can always join our own offerings with Jesus at Mass. This Sunday, offer your desire for spiritual healing.   Third Sunday of Lent: I Thirst Below is a meditation and reflection to help you on your Lenten journey and to draw closer to Jesus. Begin with this prayer: Jesus, help me to trust that you will quench my thirst for eternal life.
 Second Sunday of Lent: Clothed in Light Below is a meditation and reflection to help you on your Lenten journey and to draw closer to Jesus. Begin with this prayer: Jesus, help me to trust you to envelop me daily with your light and grace.
First Sunday of Lent: The Hunger for God Below is a meditation and reflection to help you on your Lenten journey and to draw closer to Jesus. Begin with this prayer: Jesus, help me to believe you will satisfy every longing of my heart.
 Whether you live with your spouse, children, parents, or a roommate, today’s challenge can include everyone in your home! If you live alone, ask a friend if they’d like to get together to read a chapter of the Bible with you.
Why do we focus on prayer? Scripture says to "Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer." (Romans 12:12) There are many scripture passages that stress the importance of prayer. Prayer is the building block to our relationship with Christ. How can we say we know him if we don't spend time with him? 📣This week’s challenge: Pray quietly for 15 minutes each day. |
