Lent Meditation Day 11
He and the disciples traveled on foot from Galilee, making their way to Jerusalem, and Jesus spoke in parables to the crowds who would gather around.
A Note from Ruth
These meditations are a reflection of my personal journey through Lent at a time when I was experiencing deep spiritual growth and learning what it means to grow in community as a student at the Academy for Formation and Mission. In part, I wrote them to process my own thoughts, but mainly to share those contemplations, because I felt they were meant to be experienced by others. My hope was to encourage others to go deep, to see God and Lent with a new perspective, and to self-reflect in a way that brings hope.
People called out to him. “Jesus, Messiah, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on us.”
Can you picture Jesus stopping? Can you picture his eyes fixed on the eyes of the ones who called out?
“Be healed,” he said. “Go on your way.” “Your faith has made you well.”
What our calling as followers of Christ? Is it not to stop along the way as we live our daily lives and to have compassion for people who need us?
