Second reflection of the third week of Lent
To help you live the third week of Lent to the fullest, Shalom Publishing is giving you five days in the company of Blessed Carlo Acutis – Day two.
«Jesus’ fall, weighed down by the cross, is a reverberation of his incarnation: by falling, he reaches us completely; by falling, he draws close to all those who “fall” and, extending his hand to them, lifts them up again.
What brings us down is our “self,” burdensome and crushing. We need to free ourselves from our own self and make room for God, day by day.
Carlo’s life was a daily repetition of “Not me, but God”».
Can I sense that, if I fall, the Lord is with me? Am I able to make room for him in my life?
I’ll be waiting for you tomorrow morning so we can continue reflecting together!
Lent: a time to savor
