Saint Edward Parish Family

As Lent progresses you surely noticed our church banners with several KNOTS on each one. The question for our Lenten reflection has been: WHAT WITHIN ME IS KNOTTED UP? Have you considered this question? Can you list your “knotted up” places? Have you been able to loosen any knots?

Free yourself to be more open and receptive as you walk with Jesus toward Holy Week.  Consider this reflection in your prayer in the days ahead. Be challenged to sit with Jesus asking him to open your heart to the challenge of CHANGE. Ask him to accompany you as you continue your Lenten journey.

What within me is knotted up?  What do I need to do to be freed? Pray with Jesus about this….Ask Him to loosen all that restrains you in your daily living. You may wish to take these concerns to the Sacrament of Reconciliation during this season of Lent.

Let the symbols of the knots in our Lenten environment remind you of this task that offers you freedom and new life in this Lenten time.
