| “If God is for us, who can be against us? Is it possible that He who did not spare His own Son but handed Him over for the sake of us all will not grant us all things besides?” | | March 4, 2012
Second Sunday of Lent
Dear Friends, In life, we look for, and need, some anchor, something solid and trustworthy to hold on to. Christian faith puts before us the love of God in Christ Jesus as this anchor, this center, this rock of Gibraltar. The season of Lent leads us forward to Holy Week and Easter, where we see most clearly the height and depth of the love of God. God did not spare His own Son. Jesus gives Himself completely to His Father and to us – for us and for our salvation. When in doubt, when in need, when lost or feeling abandoned and alone, we are assured that God’s love remains. May we have the faith and courage to turn to and trust in that love.
| | Lord Jesus Christ, take us to Yourself, draw us with cords to the foot of Your cross; for we have no strength to come and we know not the way. You are mighty to save, and none can separate us from Your love.
Bring us home to You. We have wandered. Under the shadow of Your cross let us live all the rest of our lives,
and there we shall be safe.
Amen. Rev. Peter Schineller, S.J., CMMB Board of Directors | | | | | |
