STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION 2nd Sunday of Lent
“I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans to give you this land as a possession.” (Gen 15:7)
Just as the Lord gave Abraham, Moses and the Israelites a land to possess, he has also given each of us a home. Whether your home is grand or humble, it is a gift from God. Abraham prepared a great sacrifice to the Lord in gratitude for the home God gave him. How do you show your gratitude to God for the home he has given you? Do you make a sacrifice of any kind? Do you return any of your finances to God, investing equally in your eternal home just as you invest in your earthly home?
LAST SUNDAY’S COLLECTION $6,305.15

FOLLOW THE GUIDE It’s easy to get lost in the endless rain forests of the Ama-zon basin. Author Ben Patterson reports an experience that is common for visiting Westerners.
They will approach local villagers and ask for directions to a place they want to go. “I have a compass, a map, and some coordi-nates, if you can just point the way.” The villagers know exactly how to reach that spot. But they will typically decline to give directions. Let me take you there myself,” one of the locals will insist. “That’s nice,” says the visitor. “But I don’t really need a guide. Just tell me what landmarks to look for.” “That’s no good,” says the villager. “I must take you there myself.” “But I have a map,” replies the outsider, perhaps becoming exasperated. “And these coordinates. And GPS.” “It does not work that way. I can get you there, but I must take you myself. You must follow me.” Modern world people love directions. We love maps. And compasses. And bullet points, leadership principles, and strategic initiatives. As Patterson observes, these items all have one thing in common: They leave us in control. If I’m holding the GPS indicator in my hand, I’m still in charge of the trip. I can still turn left or right if I want to turn left or right. But if I’m following a guide, then my job has radically changed. Now my job is merely…to follow. So what’s the best way through the jungle you’re facing this week? Through that tangle of family relationships, or the project at work that seems to have be-come a depressing swamp? You can do what you always do: take charge and try not to get lost. Or you can do something far wiser: Stop right now and ask for a Guide. -- Authored by Glenn McDonald

LE 2e DIMANCHE DU CARÊME C
Jusqu’où me suivras-tu?
«Au haut d’une montagne» Sur une montagne, Jésus a été transfiguré, s’est métamor-
phosé devant trois de ses disciples. Il leur a alors révélé son
identité profonde, son destin et ce qu’il attendait des témoins
de la scène.
En te remerciant, Seigneur, de nous avoir redit que nous
sommes appelés à être un jour transfigurés et à entrer dans
le royaume des Cieux, nous te prions
de nous aider à vivre chaque jour en
t’aimant de tout notre cœur et en
nous aimant les uns les autres. Nous
te le demandons par Jésus, qui vit
auprès de toi pour les siècles des siè-
cles. Amen.
