Lenten Day
of Prayer: "The Long and Winding
Road"
- March 10, 2010
10:00 A.M.-3:00 P.M.
During the Lenten season in which Cycle C of the liturgy offers us
the Gospel of Luke for our prayer and reflection, we will walk with
Jesus on his journey to Jerusalem. As we follow in the
footprints of Jesus whose "firm resolve" (9:51) sets him
on the irreversible course which will end on Calvary, we will listen
with the disciples to the stories of "great
reversal" which he recounts along the way. Using the
parables narrated in Luke 15, we will explore how the lessons
offered in these paradoxical tales can move us forward on the
sometimes "long and winding road" that leads us home to
resurrected life.
