Scripture meditation for the Daily Gospel
The Trade-off: Lent Day 17
If I sell my brother to another for twenty pieces of silver,
what good can come of it?
For it’s not my brother I am selling, but my soul,
he is but currency, and now I am chattel.
And my soul remains priceless.
Book of Genesis
“They sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver.”
Feeling Grace: Lent Day 16
Grace is given but not always felt.
I feel this separation today,
keeping me apart from you,
knowing You are close but unable to sense You?
If You can but touch my heart once, I Am fulfilled.
Gospel of Luke
“ ‘If they will not listen to Moses and the prophets,
neither will they be persuaded
if someone should rise from the dead.’ ”
