Lenten Reflection: Week Five
The Lord says this: “I am going to take, the sons of Israel from the nations where, they have gone. I shall gather them, together from everywhere and bring them home to their own soil. I shall make them into one nation in my own land…, they will no longer form two nations nor, be two separate kingdoms. I shall, cleanse them; they will be my people

Song of Songs: call to intimacy, austerity, ministry Come, my love, my lovely one, come!

I want to hear your song of love,
  delight in your face
  radiant with love,
  with being loved

Cuando el Evangelio irrumpe en el cuerpo
no es la paz de la siesta lo que llega,

Bienaventuranzas del Siervo Sufriente
“Por sus heridas hemos sido curados...”
“El Señor me ha dado lengua de discípulo, para escuchar,
y yo no me resistí ni me hice para atrás...”
“Este es mi Siervo... No vociferará, no gritará en las calles...
No apagará la mecha humeante ni romperá la caña quebrada.
No flaqueará hasta establecer en la tierra la justicia...”

They are almost ready to stone me.’ The Lord said to Moses, ‘Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you

La Casa de Sofía: El jardín
Elige uno de los símbolos: barro, tejido o acequia y mira tu vida desde esa clave de haber sido modelada, tejida o conducida por Dios. Trata de reconciliarte con sus aspectos oscuros, ábrete la posibilidad de que, precisamente a través de ello, existe algo en ti que puede ser hoy positivo para el Reino
