The wilderness is a space where we unearth our innate potential and begin to transform into the individuals we are destined to become.
Lent offers a transformative space that encouraged deep reflection, growth, and connection to a broader spiritual reality.
In this time may we emerge from our wilderness stronger, wiser and ever closer to the heart of God.
Lent is a season of repentance and lament. Christians convince
themselves they are good people and of good moral perfection.
“Holiness”, is not about the absence of sin, but a significant heightened awareness of sin.
In the awareness of our frailty before God and of our sin; the more we experience God’s saving grace and the abundant generosity of God in our lives.
In Baptism we are identified as beloved of God, and all other labels melt away.
“We human beings get so wrapped up with our own fears and distractions, of labelling ourselves and one another, that we often forget this sobering truth: we too are beloved by God.”
What Mary did was challenging for both Martha and Judas.
For Mary, devotion was exemplary to service and at this particular time she was performing an act of welcoming no matter the cost.
There are times when we need to celebrate the quiet and beautiful, abundant and meditative, superfluous and the pretty as followers of Jesus.
Jesus refuses the darkness of death.
Darkness does not diminish the light – darkness is only half of the whole.
We all have stones to be moved, things to be unbound so we can be free.
‘Making straight’ means no diversions.
God comes to transform your life in ways that lift burdens, receive this gift.
