Summary

In this week's episode, we continue our Lenten study on the book “A Time of Renewal” and focus on the theme of true self-denial. We reflect on the importance of recognizing our need for God’s love and allowing ourselves to be transformed by His grace. We also share personal experiences and insights on repentance, amendment, and trusting in God’s plan especially when the desires of our heart are not being fulfilled. We end by discussing the joys that can come from Lent when approached with a tender, sensitive, and alert heart.

Heather’s One Thing - Lenten Playlist

Heather’s Other One Thing - The talk Joy, Hope, and the Way Around by Monsignor Shea

Sister Miriam’s One Thing - The Pints with Aquinas episode on Transhumanism and Emerging Technologies w/ Fr. Michael Baggot (Watch on YouTube here)

Michelle’s One Thing - The book A Grand Slam for God: A Journey from Baseball Star to Catholic Priest by Fr. Burke Masters

Journal Questions:

Have I ever approached Lent with a sense of wonder?
How have I approached Lent with self hatred in the past?
What parts of myself are the stranger I need to welcome home and allow the Father to love?
How can I be more open to God as the Divine Interruptor?

Discussion Questions:

Where are you hungry? Where are others in your life hungry?
Who in your life is the stranger you need to welcome?
Do you believe something wonderful can happen this Lent?
Where have you become resigned and hard of heart instead of tender and sensitive?

Quotes to Ponder:

We are called to a glorious festival of love—to be spiritually dizzied with the fact that this is how much God has loved us. Surely we shall all look at the crucifix with a new vision, a deepened understanding that he really.

(Mother Mary Francis P.C.C. A Time of Renewal. Kindle Edition. Page 37)

Scripture for Lectio:

“After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: “This is the time of fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the Gospel.”” (Mark 1:14-15)
