The Spiritual Practice of Lent

5/29/2020

0 Comments

 
​In the USA, headlines blast the most recent incident of racial violence and subsequent protests. As disciples of Jesus Christ, traveling together in Community of Christ, we are called to seek peace and justice, end needless suffering, and uphold the worth of all people. Let us join in the practice of lament and let our hearts be open to the leading of the Spirit. 

Lament is an expression of our grief, sorrow, and confession to God amid the brokenness, injustice, and suffering of the human family. Lament is a major theme of the psalms, and an invitation to “let our hearts be broken” as we humbly pray for awareness of right and restorative action.
 
  • Loving God, break my heart open to my own and other’s suffering because of injustice. Help me stay with what is real even when it is uncomfortable.
  • Forgiving God, grow in me an awareness of the ways that I consciously and unconsciously contribute to systems of violence, racism, suffering, and injustice.
Healing God, open my eyes to invitations to relieve the physical and spiritual suffering of others. Amen.
President Veazey shares his conviction and experience of peace and assurance that God is moving us toward fuller embodiment of the gospel, even in the midst of difficult situations.
