Lent Day #43

Is 50:4-9; Mt 26:14-25

Finally, I found something during the Lenten Reflections that I actually do on a regular basis! It's never too late. Today's reflection talks about speaking with God first thing every morning before we start our day. I could not make it through the day without speaking to Him first thing, continuously throughout the day and then when I lay my head down to rest at the end of a very hectic day.

We are about to embark on the most holiest time of our religion. How could we not speak with Jesus and thank him for what he did for us. We have been reliving each step Jesus took, methodically, day by day, minute by minute. It's heart-wrenching and painful to see how he received every beating mark, every mark from his crown of thorns, and to see his blood drop to the ground slowly taking the life out of Him.

I can not even imagine going through what He endured. I can not fathom ever being able to repay or thank Him for the gift of His life.

Every time we read a lesson, there is something new that seems to jump out. It is interesting to compare the four writers' works and find the differences and similarities.

I thank you for giving me life. That is why I must thank you and pray to you as the first action of my day, my existence.
