Lenten Reflections 2024
This Lent, parishioners at Christ Church in La Plata and Christ Church Wayside are offering reflections on passages in the Gospel of Mark, focusing on “How do I meet Jesus in this passage?” We hope you will meet Jesus in new ways through their writing – and add your comments to the conversation.
Reflection for February 27 – Larry Poe
In my life, I’ve sought to develop such an unshakeable faith in Jesus Christ without any doubt that he can do all things.
Reflection for February 26 – Karen Hile
How amazing it would be to simply say a few words and have the wind, waves, weather do your bidding!
Reflection for February 24 – Karen Hile
As a gardener I love the analogy Jesus draws of the tiny little mustard seed being the Kingdom of God.
Reflection for February 23 – Karen Hile
As a gardener I’ve always felt a connection to this passage. A seed, like a word or an idea, needs the right conditions to take root and flourish.
Reflection for February 22 – Steve Christofferson
Jesus’ choice of Judas was not arbitrary; it served a higher purpose in God’s unfolding plan for salvation.
Reflection for February 21 – Glee Ann Harne
Sometimes my faith wanes and then I am reminded of His healing miracles. I am deeply moved by these miraculous and loving acts. I then continue to believe He is the Savior, sent by our Creator.
Reflection for February 20 – Terry Ressler
What is the priority? This is the question Jesus asks, and he provides the answer through his words and actions.
Reflection for February 19 – Mary Kercher
My Grandma Thompson was one of the most important persons in my life.
