“Can You See the Glow?” by Sam Miller

Fourth Sunday of Lent

Year C, 2^nd Reading: Brothers and sisters: Whoever is in Christ is a new creation: the old things have passed away; behold, new things have come. And all this is from God, who has reconciled us to himself through Christ… So, we are ambassadors for Christ. (2 Corinthians 5:17,18, 20a)

Year C, Gospel: But now we must celebrate and rejoice. (Luke 5:32a)

Year A, 1^st Reading: …anointed David in the presence of his brothers; and from that day on, the spirit of the LORD rushed upon David. (1 Samuel 16:1b, 6-7, 10-13a)

Year A, 2^nd Reading: Sisters: You were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light, for light produces every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. (Ephesians 5:8-14)

Year A, Gospel: “Do you believe in the Son of Man?” He answered and said, “Who is he, sir, that I may believe in him?” Jesus said to him, “You have seen him, the one speaking with you is he.” He said, “I do believe, Lord,” and he worshiped him. (John 9:1-41)

Piety

Glorify the LORD with me,

let us together extol his name.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me

and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34:4&5

Study

Study? The 152^nd Arlington Women’s Cursillo Team has been studying since the summer of 2017!!  Although the Team wasn’t exactly wandering around in the desert like the Israelites, they weren’t able to lead their flock into the Promised Land, San Damiano Spiritual Life Center, until Thursday, 28 March 2019!! Each of the Team members studied her part, wrote her talk, and learned the “must do’s” and the “don’t’s!” Please, Lord, clear the remaining obstacles!!

Yes, I’m getting ahead of myself because this is Wednesday (when I am writing and editing the reflection). The “called and chosen” Daughters of God haven’t officially gathered yet. However, as of this morning’s Group Reunion, which involved about half of the Team members and two sponsor/volunteers for the weekend, we are prayed up and the Lord has calmed us down to be able to stand in His presence and minister to Him through His Candidates!!

By Sunday’s Closing, we fully expect to all be new creations in Christ; reconciled to God through Christ and ambassadors for Christ. Please, Lord, grant that celebrating and rejoicing abound throughout Your weekend. Holy Spirit, pour out Your anointing on these our new Sisters in Christ and rush upon them from this time forward. Keep us all in Your light that we may produce every kind of goodness and righteousness and truth. We have met and seen You, Lord, in each of our Sisters. Help us to live our belief in You, Lord, and may Your love glow and grow in our hearts all ways!!!
