LENT DAY 27

Always we need to turn to God, every time we feel battered, shaken, challenged, lost, hurt, we need to turn to God who will help heal our wounds, through love.

God never leaves us alone in our pain. He will always be with us and help us in our woundedness.

He helps us grow towards Love, whether it is for Him, our neighbour or ourselves. Always He moves with us and brings us closer to His Light, to Life, to Truth and to Love.

Christ's journey on earth was ultimately an immensely painful experience, beyond words or imagination, yet He was not left in this state, no He absolutely abandoned himself on the cross, to trusting in God, His Father, despite the intensity of suffering, He gave us His open heart, filled with Love and Compassion. He opened the way to us all to find Healing and Hope when all seems helpless.

He opened the way for each of us to find Life, long and true, eternal, healed and whole.

God's promise is Christ's gift to us all, a total healing path of Love through any pain. What an immense gift, the gift of life, given through the Father by the Son and by the Father through the Son, with the Power of the Holy Spirit, an ultimate gift of Love. Praise God indeed

Lord help us always see
the Truth, whatever pain
we are in and
however difficult our path, 
let us not forget that you are with
us and you bless us always
with the promise of new life.
Amen
