Lenten Journey Reflections

The theme for our Living Jesus in our Hearts Throughout Life initiative for this week is: 听Laudato Si – The Care for All Creation. We are invited to reflect on the how we can care for all of God’s creations.

For each person, this theme may resonate in a unique yet deeply personal way. It might invite you to consider how you can care for the environment. For others, it could mean reflecting on when it is our time, how we can leave our communities in a better state than when we arrived.

This week’s reflection is: What are some of God’s creations that is often overlooked? How can I care for these?

We encourage you to take a brief moment to have a short conversation about this鈥攚hether with a sibling, friend, child, parent, or as a family鈥攄uring dinner, on the ride home from school, or whenever you find a quiet moment together.

We would love to hear about the discussions that take place. If you could take a couple minutes to submit your reflection and be part of this shared experience of faith. These reflections not only deepen your own journey but also inspire and uplift our community.
