The Service of Love
By the Divine Order of Time we’re called to follow in the footsteps of the Savior. It’s been estimated that Jesus and the disciples covered a distance of 2500 miles over the course of his mission on Earth. (Source: Quora, Pastor, Mark Brown)
Mary and Joseph traveled between 70 and 90 miles to Bethlehem, depending on the route. This is a long way for anyone, let alone a woman nine months pregnant. Some say she would have walked rather than ridden a donkey, as is often depicted. Either way, it would have been an intensely wearying trip! (Source: CatholicCompany.com)
The 40 Days of Lent is a journey of sorrows. It’s easy to focus on our own suffering and our fears of tomorrow. When we bear the suffering for a Divine Cause, the Offering will be more than enough.
