Check here weekly for a short and simple reflection on each Sunday’s Gospel reading written by a Sister of Providence or Providence Associate. You’ll find practical ideas for living the Gospel message in your day-to-day life. God bless you as you strive to live out the Gospel in the week ahead!

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."

"May we also recognize how we can be a caring presence for those in need whom we encounter in our lives?"

"Maybe he asked for us to make changes in the direction of our life. How did we respond?"

"Pray for the grace to continue seeking with Jesus what is most important in your life."
