Fifth Sunday of Lent
How is it the fifth Sunday of Lent already? It seems rather impossible in so many
ways. The journey of Lent is just that a
journey. On Ash Wednesday we placed
ashes on our foreheads as a sign of our faith.
The Lenten journey began on that day.
Since that day we have journeyed with Jesus. We have heard in the Sunday Gospels the
stories of Jesus’ Temptation, the Transfiguration, the Woman at the Well, the
Man Born Blind, and the Raising of Lazarus.
In each of these stories we see both the humanity and
divinity of Jesus. Each of the individuals in these stories were moved by their
encounter with Jesus to become proclaimers of the word of God and were inspired
by the spirit of God to bring Jesus to others.
During this last full week of Lent, we have the opportunity
to pause and reflect on what did we see or do differently. What do we still want to do to make our life
a place of the presence of God? Let this
Lenten journey continue to be filled with the hopeful anticipation of Easter.
