Gospel Reflections

Doors, windows and other portals are powerful images found in scripture, religious art and dreams.

This Gospel story is rich in inspiration for prayer and meditation during Holy Week.

In this last week of Lent before Holy Week, take time to reflect on when you have put aside your own needs (died to self) to nurture healing, forgiveness and kindness towards another.

Bring light to their world. It will light up yours as well.

There is always need in the world of prayers for others

“Imagine or find an image of that. The next time you feel lost, remember that image.”

“Let us spend some time this week in thinking about how we can more quickly and effectively walk away from situations that present that temptation.”

“Explore a new Lenten tradition that calls to your heart.”

“This week, let us all catch ourselves as we notice a need. Instead of responding in duty, let us freely choose to respond in love.”

“This week, let each of us choose to be a conduit of God’s love to a neighbor.”
