Raphah, Be Still the Earth

Welcome to the Saturday Examen.

During this fifth week of Lent, we’ve engaged with God through a variety of Old and New Testament scriptures. We’ve explored some of the challenging words of Jesus as his journey towards Jerusalem and the cross intensifies. We’ve also been reminded of God's deep and lasting love for humanity.

In the stillness, allow the Spirit to bring to mind what God most wants you to remember from this week’s reflections.

Where has the Spirit brought new life and joy this week?

What growth in faith has this brought?

Give thanks for this.

What has challenged, unsettled or disturbed you?

When did you feel resistant to God?

Tell God about these times.

Where have you felt closest to Jesus this week?

Why is this?

Several times this week, the question has been asked of Jesus ‘Who are you?’

Who is Jesus for you now?

Finally, thank God for your time together this week. Ask the Holy Spirit to prepare your heart for journeying with Jesus through Holy Week.

You have given all to me

To you, Lord, I return it

Everything is Yours

Do with it what You will

Give me only Your love and Your grace

That is enough for me

Amen
