Monday, second week of Lent
"Will you be awake until 10pm?" The question comes almost every night because our daughter likes to sleep with her door open so she can hear the noise of people in the house as she is falling asleep. I wonder if God would like an open door in our soul and have us listening as He makes His home in us this Lent.
Are we willing to allow the light of His Presence to fill us and inform our actions?
Medicine From Sacred Writings:
"Do not shut your doors against this light, and you shall enjoy great happiness. This light comes by faith and when it has come, it lights abundantly him that has received it." St. Chrysostom Homilies on John Homily V.4 NPNF 14.24
"If we come to the Physician, if we ask Him, He will not hide from us, but will eagerly disclose to us which of these medicines make us whole." John Chrysostom Fourth Century Homily. Medicine heals our bodies and soul medicine brings healing to our souls. Come find the medicine your heart longs for; learn from the Sacred Writings of the early church fathers and from Sacred Scripture and be made whole.

- Come peer through the lens of Sacred Writings and Scripture to know ourselves and be made whole. There is always medicine to apply in our lives: emotional, relational, social and spiritual. My prayer is that the words of the early church and scripture will inform our identity and bring us healing that equips us to know and serve God with all our hearts.
