FOURTH SUNDAY OF LENT (10/13)
Henri
J. M. Nouwen tells us that the spiritual discipline of gratitude is “the
explicit effort to acknowledge that all I am and have is given to me as a gift
of love, a gift to be celebrated with joy”.
This Lent, as we journey to Easter as a pilgrim people we pray that this
gratitude will be celebrated and will also lead us to be people who love others
as we have been loved.
