Contemplative Sketches For Lent
Two contemplative sketches to help us reflect on the mystery of the cross.
The Cross Is Our Hope
The crosses in our life are an opportunity to place our hope in Jesus.
Come to Me
My second sabbatical reflection centers on the Cross. A key scripture passage that personally links to this theme comes from Matthew 11. This verse appeared throughout many prayer times during tough seasons. I suffered many trials, and I learned that the Cross carried me through those challenging moments. The Cross will inevitably find us, we who love Christ. Do not be afraid though, God will never allow us to suffer more than we can handle. When we suffer, we can surrender in a powerful way. This is part of our calling, but it is not the end.
