GOD’S CONTEXT
With the context of God's love, I can more easily acknowledge him saying “let me help you problem solve, let me help you love.”
SEEKING MERCY, EMBRACING FORGIVENESS
If I am to be a disciple, a follower of Jesus, then I am called to embrace forgiving.
HOME IS WHERE THE HEART (GOD) IS
When we don’t believe & see ourselves as beloved children, we become slaves to a conditional way of relating to God, myself & others.
WE ARE ALL GOD’S BELOVED CHILDREN
Whether my mistakes were akin to squandering an inheritance or feeling envy or frustration with another, God loved me through it all.
WONDER OVER JEALOUSY

COMPASSION IN ACTION
When I reflect and connect the dots of my life, I can identify how God's love and grace have sustained me through and through.
LOVE’S DESIRE FOR GREATNESS

The Catholic Church was never intended to be a rigid and exclusive club for the righteous and perfect, but an accommodating hospital for sinners like me.

Jesus’s question “Do you see me?” is not one of judgment but one of accompaniment.
AN INVITATION TO HONEST CONVERSATION
Are you willing to have an honest conversation with God this Lent?
THE SLOW BUILD
This season reminds us of the slow work of building a relationship with myself, the people around me, the environment, others in the world, and God.
