In the fourth week of Lent, Sr. Josephine Garrett, CSFN, invites us to reflect on the subtle but powerful temptation to let our busy lives crowd out our relationship with God. This is a common challenge, yet one we are called to resist with vigilance. Amid the distractions and demands of daily life, we must remember a profound truth— Christ’s heart burns with longing for us. He desires nothing more than to draw close to us, to walk with us, and to fill our lives with his peace and presence.
As Christians, our faith calls us beyond intellectual assent—it calls us to genuine love and care for Christ. This Lent, Sr. Josephine urges us to ask for the grace to deepen this love, to cultivate a heart that not only believes in Christ but treasures his longing to rescue, restore, and reconcile us with the father.
Let this season of renewal be an opportunity to prioritize your relationship with God, setting aside time to draw nearer to the one whose love for you knows no bounds.
Through prayer and reflection, open your heart to care deeply for Christ and to respond to his invitation to intimacy and restoration.
