"You know where I am from... But the one who sent me is true, and you do not know him."

To know Jesus' native place is information, but to know Jesus himself is a revelation. Smart phones, Wi-Fi, internet connections can provide information but do not lead us to a deeper revelation of the Divine.

Jesus derived his identity from his relationship with his Father - a relationship he built on the awareness of his Father's abiding presence. How blessed are we if we too derive our identity from our relationship with Jesus!

Now, during Lent, is a time for us consciously to experience the love of Christ crucified and to deepen our response to that passionate love.



Your love for us, Lord, we realise, is an experience and not information. We pray, Lord, that we may experience more of that love and let not our sinfulness blind us to your abounding love.

DAILY OFFERING
Eternal Father, I offer You everything I do this day; my thoughts, words, joys and sufferings. Grant that, vivified by the Holy Spirit and united to the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary, my life this day may be of service to You and to others. I also pray that all those preparing for marriage discover in Sacrament the source of Christ's grace for living a fithful and fruitful love. Amen.
