When we decide to love difficult people, when we choose to give ourselves away to those who would wish us harm, we become recipients of God’s grace. In the end those who would wish us harm, if we can find the space and generosity to decide to love them, become our benefactors.

In churches there are many differently shaped and decorated crosses. Some would make much of their ‘own’ as the ‘true’ cross and be tempted to belittle the devotion of others.

The journey to a ‘Trysting Place’ is not for Lent alone. In this final blog find a link to the movie of the book ‘In this House of Brede’ and also details on how to be in contact with a local Religious Commnity.

As Lent draws to a close we run the risk of going back to ‘business as normal’ and not carry all we have learnt with us. What can we do to continue to grow closer to our Beloved.

To walk in faith always means going where we have not been before nor to places where we are comofrtable. To be faithful means a leap into the unknown knowing only that our Beloved holds us.
