This week’s Lenten reflection on the Sunday readings is provided by Carol Schumer, D.C., Spiritual Coordinator, Ladies of Charity, Archdiocese of St. Louis, MO.

At the conclusion of the reflection she suggests…TRY THIS TODAY

Recall a painful experience that led to blessings for you. Give praise andthanks to God for this practical example of life through death.

Then share your resulting faith-filled perspective and hopeful attitude with others at home and in your ministry as a Lady of Charity,especially with persons living in poverty.
