Fourth Week of Lent

This Week's Good News Mantra

Like Jesus, I will choose love.

Reflection

Acts of care and protection can often require different emotions and energy levels from us. Between the two, what comes easier to you—care or protection? How can you use that skill for good?

Prayer

Both/And God, some of us find energy at the protest, in the crowd, lobbying for change. Some of us find energy in prophetic spaces, challenging voices of power. Others of us find energy in the quiet of the hospital ward, by the bedside, in the nursing home, or in baby snuggles. Help me pay attention to what kind of love comes easily for me and show me how to act on that inclination wherever and however I can. As the saints before me said, “I am here. Send me.” Amen.
