we pray
Keep us Good Lord under the shadow of your mercy in this time of uncertainty and distress. Sustain and support the anxious and fearful and lift up all who suffer, that we may rejoice in your comfort knowing that nothing can separate us from your love. This we pray in your name.
Amen.
Lenten Reflection Prompt for the Day:
I imagine the eyes of Jesus
Were harvest brown,
The light of their gazing
Suffused with the seasons:
The shadow of winter,
The mind of spring,
The blues of summer
And amber of harvest.
A gaze that is perfect sister
To the kindness that dwells
In his beautiful hands.
—from “The Eyes of Jesus” in To Bless the Space Between Us by John O’Donohue ... See MoreSee Less

Lenten Reflection for the Day:
—for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.
—from “As Kingfishers Catch Fire” by Gerard Manley Hopkins.
What can this mean, if one of those ten thousand places is your own bathroom mirror?
What if prayer were not asking for what we want, but asking to learn why we want what we want? ... See MoreSee Less

Lenten Reflection for the Day:
Ps 10:1: “Why hide away in times of trouble, Lord?”
The psalmist is remarkably honest in prayer. How do we find the balance between respect and presumption, complaint and trust when talking to God? We need to be careful not to let fear or awe get in the way of what John Polkinghorne calls “indispensable” honesty in prayer.
(Searching for Truth: Lenten Meditations on Science and Faith, New York, 1996, 107). ... See MoreSee Less
