Jesus tells his disciples about the journey that
awaits him, of how he will turned over the authorities and will be killed, yet
will rise again after three days. In a little more than a week we will begin our
Lenten journey, we will begin journeying to the cross. The cross and the passion of Christ are events that
bring great suffering and difficulty to him. However, with the cross comes hope and
resurrection, comes salvation and redemption for humanity. We are excited about our Lenten journey here at St
James, of our theme of seeking God in all things, in whatever reality we are
experiencing in the here and now of our lives. What Jesus tells his disciples next is important to
us as well. We are not to journey with
Jesus on his way to the cross with the desire to be the greatest, but rather we
should do so through service and humility and gratitude. As we start our Lenten journey next week with that
smudge of ash on our foreheads, may the Lord help us to receive his Kingdom with
the heart of a child.
