March 14, Lent first week

Today's Grace

I ask for the grace to remember how God has blessed and continues to bless our ministries.

Scripture/Reading

 
Romans 8:28-30
Father General and Pope FrancisWe know that all things work together for good for those who love God, who are called according to his purpose.
 
For those he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, so that he might be the firstborn among many brothers.
 
And those whom he predestined he also called; and those whom he called he also justified; and those whom he justified he also glorified.
 
 
Isaiah 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor are your ways my ways-oracle of the LORD.
 
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

Reflection Questions

  1. What are the fruits of our corporate ministries? I talk with God about them.
  2. What fruits are being realized in the places where I have served and am serving now? If I am unable to see the fruits at this time, I talk with God about that and ask to trust that God is at work in hidden ways.
