The
Holy Season of Lent began this year today 06 March 2019 - ASH
WEDNESDAY.
Why
are we on this earth? God has a mission or each of us. The sacred
season of Lent is a holy time of grace for every Catholic to look deep into our
hearts - what is the state of our heart for Jesus to live in us?
As
of today, a weekly spiritual video talk will be posted every Saturday on
this Friends of Divine blog until Holy Week. The 6-part
DIVINE LENTEN 2019 WEEKLY VIDEO REFLECTION SERIES - is to help us
search our hearts deeply as to how are we really living for God? Do we
put Jesus as the centre of our life not just during the Holy Season of Lent but
in our every day living? On Holy Thursday, a Eucharistic
Adoration service will be posted.
The
first video of the 6-part DIVINE LENTEN 2019 WEEKLY VIDEO
REFLECTION SERIES at the top of this post is "ASH
WEDNESDAY: ITS TRUE MEANING TO OUR LIFE" by Rev.
Fr.Michael Payyapilly V.C.This STREAMS OF GRACE episode broadcast
last year is timeless and a beautiful reminder to every Catholic never to take
our life on earth for granted.
Fr.
Michael reminds us that "On Ash Wednesday, the ash is proclaiming, 'Life
is far more than what we make it out to be.' It isn't about our body."
"We
are going to be searching this whole season of Lent for the 'bodily goodness',
for that godliness within us and holiness that lives in us. That is what Jesus
wants of us - what Jesus wants to see."
"Our
life here is not the destination.Our life here is just the journey. We are
moving towards the destination. That is the truth about who we are - who we are
supposed to be."
"This
Ash Wednesday as the ash is placed on our forehead, let us remind ourselves of
what wonderful human beings God has made us. We are truly miracles - amazing
miracles of God. It is so striking that from dust, from nothingness, He would
create someone so beautiful as you and me."
Next
Saturday, Rev. Fr. Joseph Edattu V.C., Associate Director of
Divine Retreat Centre Ramsgate, Kent, UK will be sharing the Word of
God on “EVERY SIN IS AN INNER WOUND."
