Faith and Freedom: Letting Go and Embracing God's Love"

Fifth Sunday of Lent: Come Out of the Cave—Hope, Forgiveness, and a Prayed Holy WeekChristy Murray and Father Perry Kenton welcome listeners to “Mary’s Message” and reflect on the Fifth Sunday of Lent, praying for a “prayed Holy Week” rather than going through the motions. Using the Gospel of the raising of Lazarus, Father Perry emphasizes that Jesus can bring life out of any situation and that keeping one’s eyes on Jesus is essential, like Peter walking on water. He reviews the day’s readings on resurrection hope, mercy, and life in the Spirit, then discusses free will and love as a choice. With Jesus’ call, “Lazarus, come out,” he challenges listeners to identify their own “caves” (sin, grudges, self-doubt, materialism, unforgiveness) and accept Christ’s freedom, recommending writing a candid “love letter” to God as a Lenten practice to prepare for Easter.00:00 Welcome to Mary’s Message00:35 Opening Prayer and Lent Focus01:36 Lazarus Gospel Hope03:59 Keep Eyes on Jesus05:33 Readings and Holy Week06:48 Why Evil and Free Will08:36 Jesus Wept at the Tomb10:51 Name Your Caves13:11 Love Letter to God15:28 Discernment and Forgiveness19:46 Palm Sunday Preview20:16 Closing Prayer and Sendoff21:19 Subscribe and Final Blessing🎧 Subscribe, leave a 5-star review, and share this episode to help Mary’s message reach more hearts.Subscribe to our YT Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@BlessedMarysMessagesJOIN our Mailing LIST to get updates and be part of our prayer communityhttps://sendfox.com/blessedmarymessagesShow Sponsors:BlueVeil Wellness                                                               Balance.
