Lectio Divina – sacred reading
Luke 9:22-25
22 Jesus said, “The Son of Man must undergo great suffering, and be rejected by the elders, chief priests, and scribes, and be killed, and on the third day be raised.”
23 Then he said to them all, “If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
24 For those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will save it.
25 What does it profit them if they gain the whole world, but lose or forfeit themselves?
Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings with your most gracious favour, and further us with your continual help; that in all our works begun continued, and ended in you, we may glorify your holy Name, and, finally, by your mercy, obtain everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
Great thoughts, Rev. Bosco. I was wondering if you would be posting some Lenten meditations.
Thanks Cathy. There will at least be collect reflections. I’ve also already pointed to resources, and others have added to those. On a post like this people are welcome to add their reflection also. Blessings.
