Reminder for March 14, 2021, 4th Sunday of Lent

2 Samuel 5:  When all the elders of Israel came to David in Hebron, King David made an agreement with them there before the LORD, and they anointed him king of Israel.
Colossians 1:   He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.
Luke 23:   “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” He replied to him, “Amen, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise.”

 

When we embrace the unknown with an open heart, we make way for newness of soul—our own.
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
