Thursday of the Third Week of Lent
Today's Lectionary Readings
[link removed]
"If today you hear his voice, harden not your hearts."
Today's readings and response are centered around turning
towards God and opening up our hearts to Him and His will. We hear
that of all the people, ever since their "fathers left the land
of Egypt," no one has obeyed God. They have toiled over their
work for ages, with their backs towards Him.
Sometimes, when we get so bogged down with work - our
clients' struggles, paperwork and other tasks of daily life
- it becomes easy to push aside time for prayer. We want to help
our clients, and that becomes the main priority to solve. But I
challenge you to think about how prayer can nourish that situation and
make it more fruitful. Rather than pushing prayer until later or until
tomorrow, bring the current tasks into that prayer and hear
God's voice for that moment. Let His voice open up your heart to
better care for your job and tasks. Allow Him to speak to you and work
through you to help your clients.
How can we turn our faces towards God, bring Him into our everyday
tasks, and allow God to lead us towards far more fruitful lands than
we can get to on our own? In what ways, this Lenten season, can we
reinvigorate our prayer lives to listen for God's voice
throughout the day and incorporate prayer into our service?
Kimberly Phelan is the Parish Engagement Coordinator for Catholic
Charities Fort Worth. She is currently pursuing a Masters in Pastoral
Theology through the Augustine Institute.
