Saturday, Second Week of Lent
"Let us eat and celebrate because this son of mine was dead and has come back to life." (Luke 15:23-24)
Reflection.
Salvation to all that will is nigh; That All, which always is All everywhere, Which cannot sin, and yet all sins must bear, Which cannot die, yet cannot choose but die, So, faithful Virgin, yields himself to lie In prison, in thy womb; and though He there Can take no sin, nor thou give, yet He'll wear Taken from thence, flesh, which death's force may try. Ere by the spheres time was created, thou Wast in his mind, who is thy Son and Brother; Whom thou conceiv'st, conceiv'd; yea, thou art now Thy Maker's maker, and thy Father's mother; Thou hast light in dark, and shut'st in little room Immensity, cloistered in thy dear womb. by John Donne
Lenten Action.
Go to a chapel and say Morning Prayer. Call your parents and tell them you love them.
Prayer
Forgive my sins against the unity of your family; make me love as you loved me.
Mea culpa .... didn't realize anyone was reading it. I was distracted by Gulf War II. These brave military are in my constant prayers.
Will begin reposting it tomorrow.
Please notify me via Freepmail if you would like to be added to or removed from the Prayer Ping list.
Third Sunday of Lent -- halfway through! How is it going for everyone out there?
