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 anew our own road to Emmaus. We
begin anew 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. Others will take
on new disciplines; make new efforts to live the Christian message. I encourage you to commit yourselves to an
effort to live your lives as 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. If you plan to
give something up, choose something that pulls you away from Christ. 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.
