Let us pray,
Holy and Gracious God, guide us in this season of lent. Help us to find reflections of you within ourselves and in those around us. Lead us into the light of your resurrection. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Today we begin our own road to Emmaus. We begin our pilgrimage to witness the resurrection. During this season of lent many people will make special efforts to be self sacrificing; giving up something which is dear to them for the season. I encourage you to try something different this year. Rather than giving something up for lent, take something on. Pick something that you know you should be doing to live your life as one of Christ’s disciples and make a special effort to do this throughout lent. Some possibilities are daily prayer, both personal and as a family, saying something kind to each person you meet throughout the day, or even bringing your children to church every Sunday in lent. Taking on such a discipline can help us to enter into the Easter light.
I ask you in this next moment of quiet to make your personal commitment silently to God.
