Lenten Reflections, Day 33




Sunday, March 25th, 2012

Written by: Tina Langlotz

Reading: Colossians 3: 12


This passage focuses on being holy as Christians. To do so, we must follow specific rules because we love Jesus. As living examples of God’s chosen people, we must shed negative traits such as selfishness, greed, hostility, rudeness and hate and replace them with positive virtues. These include compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, patience and love.
Through life’s journey, our Christian faith guides us to be loving and to use our selfless talents to make our world a better place.



Prayer
Thank you God for blessing us with your unconditional love so that we may share our faith with others. Amen.



FAMILY MOMENTS:
Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. That is the focus of today’s verse. Is there one of these characteristics that is easiest or most challenging for you? We are all better when we practice each of these traits, but how often do we really?
Pray as a family to practice compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. In particular look for those opportunities for yourself and your children and talk about how to clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
