MONDAY, FIRST WEEK OF LENT

JESUS WAS FROM GALILEE

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. Mark 1:9


Allow your mind to react to the picture remembering where Jesus came from. Be aware of your preconceptions. Ponder.

Can anything good “come out of Nazareth”, out of the hills? Could this be God’s chosen one?


How do we understand Jesus’ heritage, home? What does it suggest for us today?

“James of Princeton in W. Va.” Home, 1952

Jesus of Nazareth, savior of the world, open our eyes, silence our prejudices, awaken our souls to the goodness of all creation. Let us see you in all we meet. Let us see the oneness of all you have made. Let us be surprised and blessed. Amen.
