GOOD FRIDAY JESUS DIES

Leave a comment

Good Friday  Jesus dies. The life in me trickles away, days of grief have gripped me. At night-time, sickness saps my bones, I am gnawed by wounds that never sleep. It has thrown me into the mud where I am no better than dust and ashes. I cry to you, and you give me answer; I stand before you, but you take no notice. Job 30: 16, 17, 19  It is one thing to empty. It is an even deeper thing to be emptied. Pain does this. It empties us, if we allow it to. Matthew Fox Suffering is the badge of the human race. Mahatma Gandhi

MAUNDY THURSDAY

Leave a comment

Maundy Thursday– This is the day when Christians remember Jesus washing his disciple’s feet. Joseph Beuys was a Performance Artist when he re-enacted this foot washing in the streets. His action was met with the same consternation as at Jesus’ time. It seems to be our nature to resist another’s kind service….but it need not be this way. Stop in this moment and be refreshed in God’s waiting kindnesses.

HOLY WEEK -WEDNESDAY

Leave a comment

Wednesday of Holy Week The traditional primary theme for this day is our human need for healing and forgiveness. If we know that ‘God is love’ and so, promises to forgive us anything that would separate us from this love, why do we find it so hard to forgive ourselves? Holding ourselves accountable when God does not is perverse and plainly, sad. God can not speak to someone if this love is overridden with one’s own version of punishment. Release yourself for God’s sake!

Look at one object within your view. Let your eyes examine it – trace all its edges, colour, light, etc. Let your eyes rest on this object seemingly without purpose. Let your mind settle and relax.

HOLY WEEK -TUESDAY

Leave a comment

Tuesday of Holy Week Jesus said: I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. The woman who loves her life will lose it, while the woman who hates her life in this world will keep it for eternal life.’ John 12: 23-26 So, to concentrate on one’s own success – is to lose what matters. Love for God must be such that all other loves are, by comparison, hatred. This text speaks to me and my misplaced sense of success. Today I repent of this.

HOLY WEEK -MONDAY

Leave a comment

Monday of Holy Week – Jesus said: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first a greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ Matthew 22: 37-39 Close your eyes and breathe slowly, in and out. Put your hands on your abdomen to feel your breath rise and fall. Think about Jesus’ words. Live into the words of Jesus.

HOLY WEEK – 5 minute Lenten Mini-Devos 2012

Leave a comment

By Flossie Peitsch

Essence Theme

LENTEN OVERVIEW: This is the last week of my Lenten 5 minute mini devos. I added a few thoughts for Easter too. These writings have been my Lenten commitment to you… but in my doing this, YOU have helped my journey.

It is traditional to give up something for Lent but it can also follow four (4) disciplines:

Repentance – self-examination

Prayer – Pray about life issues, including listening to God’s word

Fasting – Limiting or eliminating something you enjoy, as you feel you

are led to do

Service – Giving up personal time for others’ benefit

PREPARE: Pick a time when you will not be interrupted. Have beside you your Bible and light a candle. The purpose of the Devos is to momentarily simplify your spirituality by focusing on one thought or action. It is meant to be a step towards a new awareness using some of our God-given senses and attributes.

General Daily Outline

[Light the candle]

Say Out-loud

Though we own nothing, everything is ours. 2 Cor. 6:10b

[Daily Focus]

Say Out-loud

May the grace of God the creator, the love of our lord Jesus Christ, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with us all.

[Extinguish the candle]

FIFTH WEEK OF LENT -SATURDAY

Leave a comment

5th week of Lent, Saturday – Lack of air circulation makes things stale or rancid. That is why we ‘air things out”, ideas and belongings. Look at one object within your view. Blow a tissue of paper held by two fingers. Let your eyes examine it – trace all its edges, colour, light, etc. Let your eyes follow this movement seemingly without purpose. Let your mind settle and relax. Thank God that you can notice this smallness in all the bigness of your life.
