I do not seek to understand that I may believe, but I believe in order to understand. For this also I believe, –that unless I believed, I should not understand.-- St. Anselm of Canterbury (1033-1109)

A Prayer for the Fifth Sunday in Lent

Lord Jesus, often enough, we’re burdened by our past, by what we have done or failed to do. We condemn and we judge, losing hope in others as well as in ourselves. We walk in the dark.
.
Speak to us as you spoke to the woman long ago. “Go, and sin no more.” Inspire us, like your Apostle Paul, to forget what lies behind and press on to what lies ahead, to pursue the goal, the glorious prize, which, by your grace, you help us gain.
.
Light of the world, be our light.
.
Amen.
.
Victor Hoagland, C.P.
