Saturday, March 14 – Lenten Journey 2020 Day 20 of 40
Day 20 marks a half-way point. It is important in any
journey to review the steps that have brought us thus far and chart out the
steps that lead forward. At the Last Supper, Jesus reflects on his ministry and
the unique relationship between the disciples and himself: He as the “True Vine,”
his Father the vinedresser and the disciples are the branches (John 15). In
confidence, he moves forward to his Passion, “Rise, let us go” he instructs his
disciples. Today is a day of reflection. Our bodies are becoming familiar with
the dietary regimen, we have increased our prayer life and acts of charity. Our
meditations and contemplations give us satisfaction. Reflect on those things
you have discovered since Lent began and then Rise! Let us go forward. The
second half of the Lenten Journey is moments away.
