Second Sunday in Lent
To live in this world with people is to have a broken heart- sooner or later. So many things hurt us deeply- the death of a loved one, the loss of a friend, the painful exchange of words with someone close to us, the terrifying diagnosis. This morning I listened to a friend who recently lost her son- -there were no words of comfort, all I could do was offer my presence. I wonder if that is what God is longing for? What if we allowed God to come close to us in prayer? What if Lent were about seeking His Presence and bringing Him all the broken places in us and asking Him to make us whole through prayer and repentance?
Medicine from Sacred Scripture:
"The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." Psalm 34:18
