For 21 March 2022, Monday of the third week of Lent, based on Luke 4:24-30
Jesus said, ‘Truly I tell you, no prophet is accepted in the prophet’s home town. But the truth is, there were many widows in Israel in the time of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up for three years and six months, and there was a severe famine over all the land; yet Elijah was sent to none of them except to a widow at Zarephath in Sidon. There were also many lepers in Israel in the time of the prophet Elisha, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian.’ When they heard this, all in the synagogue were filled with rage. They got up, drove him out of the town, and led him to the brow of the hill on which their town was built, so that they might hurl him off the cliff. But he passed through the midst of them and went on his way.

Thank you so much, Barbara for your reflection on Truth-Telling being hard both on ourselves and at times for others. I appreciate the challenge for this lent to acknowledge my own need for Truth Telling and to find peace in God’s Mercy.
Blessings on your ministries of Chaplaincy and Truth-Telling and Preaching.
Love,
Sr. Brigid
