Grace: My Lord Jesus, I beg for the grace to really enter into the mystery with which this season of Lent brings. May I be able to face the depth and the breadth of the love you have for me -- amidst my brokeness, woundedness.
Jesus said to Nicodemus: “Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert, so must the Son of Man be lifted up, so that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life.”
For God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, so that everyone who believes in him might not perish but might have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him will not be condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God. And this is the verdict, that the light came into the world, but people preferred darkness to light, because their works were evil. For everyone who does wicked things hates the light and does not come toward the light, so that his works might not be exposed. But whoever lives the truth comes to the light, so that his works may be clearly seen as done in God (Jn. 3:14-21).
Points:
1. Pray over Chapters 8 to 10 of St. Anselm's Proslogion. The text is on the next box. You need not read all three chapters. Just peruse through the material. Then, try to relish and savor the words or thoughts or feelings that surface.
2. Should you find yourself desiring to do magis, read all three chapters. What are your reactions to his reflections? Can you resonate with it? How do you find it?
