Lenten Reflection Day 17: Isaiah 53:11
from Simple Diakonia Hosted by Deacon Hector Ortiz
"My servant, the just one, shall justify the many, their iniquity he shall bear." (Isaiah 53:11) Reflection: At times, we forget the many blessings God has bestowed upon us. The greatest among them, Jesus Christ our Savior. The focus on Lent is on prayer, almsgiving, and fasting. We should add a fourth pillar, gratitude. A grateful heart is a prayerful heart because it knows salvation comes from above. A thankful heart is filled with charity because it understands that almsgiving without love is a fancy act. A grateful heart realizes that fasting is not about suffering but joy, a healthy balance of self-giving and control. Today's Intention: Lord, move us through the Holy Spirit to live in gratitude. To give you thanksgiving every day for the gift of Jesus Christ who justifies us and bears our iniquities. Peace and Goodness
