“Are you capable of risking your life for someone? Do it for Christ.”
– St. John Paul II
Today’s Reflection
There are occassions when in prayer, we are filled with zeal, and a willingness to risk everything for the Lord. But most of the time “risking your life for someone” is the small act of laying down your pride, your way of doing things, your ideas, your opinions. It means being humble and obedient to the will of God. Risk your life for Christ today in the big and small ways in which He leads you.

“There are ways of being crucified that do not involve rough wood or heavy nails, but a love beyond our capacity to love, which means a love that has been given to us by God…”
-Catherine Doherty
Today’s Reflection
Who is God calling you to love beyond your capacity this Lent? Go love them today.

“You don’t know how to pray? Put yourself in the presence of God,
and as soon as you have said, ‘Lord, I don’t know how to pray!’
you can be sure you’ve already begun.”
-Saint Josemaría Escrivá
Today’s Reflection
Lent is a great time to pick up the practice of Eucharistic adoration, where we can put ourselves in the Real Presence of Jesus. He desires us to spend time with Him. He expressed His disappointment when the disciples could not stay awake with Him and His words ring true for us, “So, could you not stay awake with me one hour?”
Will you spend an hour with Jesus this week as part of your Lenten offering?

“Lent is a time of going very deeply into ourselves…
What is it that stands between us and God? Between us and our brothers and sisters? Between us and life, the life of the Spirit? Whatever it is,
let us relentlessly tear it out, without a moment’s hesitation.”
-Catherine Doherty
Today’s Reflection
Lent is a time for deep reflection. Take time today to pray and ponder through Catherine Doherty’s questions above and journal your insights.
