PRAYER MOMENT

CHOOSE LIFE
Pause. Enter into the stillness of God
within.
Reading: “Choose life, then, so that
you and your descendants may live in the love of the Lord your God.” (Deut.
30:15-20)
Reflection. Lent wastes no time in reminding us
that life is about choices; choices that give life and choices that diminish
us. The newly emancipated Israelites in the desert are now free to make a
choice. Then the gospel for today comes in rather bluntly and says the choice
that gives life is the one that, “loses life for my sake.” (Luke 9:22-5). I
have just been for medical “tests” and m awaiting the outcome, I found myself
asking, “what if they find something life threatening?” How will I take it? Finding
the roots of our experience in the gospel is not always straightforward. Lent helps us move that way.
Prayer. Lord, may we see our own experience
in our Lent readings and darw life from that source. Amen.
