Reflection for the Second Week of Lent

When Jesus had called the Twelve together, he gave them power and authority to drive out all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them out to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick. 
Luke 9:1-2
 
As Jesus gathered his disciples and sent them out as his co-laborers,  so he gathers and sends us into serving Catholic schools today.  We are Christ’s body, called to work together toward one holy purpose: that his will be done on earth as it is already done in heaven.
 
Lord our guide, we praise you for bringing us together to embody your presence on earth. Forgive us when we try to go it alone.  Remind us today that we are eternally bound to each other in the name of the Father, the Son and the Spirit, through whom we pray, Amen.
