The Second Scrutiny: The Fourth Sunday of Lent, March 31, 2019
Response: Christ in me, arise
From being lost to indifference to family…
From being lost to impatience with our children…
From being lost to manipulation in our relationships…
From being lost to overt pride and selfish attitudes…
From being lost to self-centered power and blatant control…
From being lost to sexism and racism…
From being lost to sarcasm and mockery…
From being lost food addiction and self-hatred…
From being lost to bigotry and prejudice…
From being lost to our past mistakes and bad choices…
From being lost to put-downs and rage…
From being lost to resentments and cynicism…
From being lost to judging other people…
From being lost to compromising our gifts and talents…
From being lost to devaluing ourselves…
From being lost to stereotyping other people…
From being lost to hoarding our time and energy…
From being lost to keeping our eyes cast down in shame…
From being lost to God’s desire to love and heal us…
From being lost to the love of our friends and family…
And from all evil…
And from all evil…
And from all evil…
Broken But Not Divided
