Redemptive Suffering It’s only fitting as we approach Holy Week to meditate and embrace the sufferings that our dearly beloved Lord endured for love of us. For some of us it may just be little things that hold us captive to anger, impatience, criticism and ungratefulness .

It’s important that we take time to come apart and allow our spirit and soul be nourished by God. Scripture remind us of the words of Jesus “I am the Vine, you are the branches, remain in me and you will bear fruit.” It’s important that we remain connected to Him and not yourself.. Mother Theresa says.. “Let there be no pride or vanity in the work. The work is God’s work, the poor are God’s poor. Put yourself completely…..
As we continue our time of fasting and meditation in this Lenten season, it’s a good time to reflect on the passage of our life and the struggles and sufferings we encounter. We can find courage in uniting our journey in the desert to Jesus who journey His desert path with acceptance and surrender.
