The Lenten Journey

March 1, 2008

The family and I did Stations of the Cross together at our parish last night. I particularly liked the closing prayer, which I share with you here:

"We have journeyed these steps in a spirit of prayerful hope. When we unite our suffering and difficulties to those of the Lord Jesus Christ, our sadness and distress will eventually change into joy, vindication, healing, and peace. Though we may bear the scars of our hurts, we will no longer be prisoners of fear, for we have triumphed through the victory of the cross and resurrection. Let us always be about our Lord's work. May we accomplish this work patiently and carefully, trusting in the power of the Risen Christ, who dwells among us and will bring us everlasting life."

Have a blessed Lent.
