Wednesday of the 3rd week of Lent
First reading Deuteronomy 4:1,5-9
Lent is a sacred season that calls us not only to repentance but to remembrance—a deep, intentional remembering that shapes the way we live every day. In Deuteronomy 4:1,5-9, Moses exhorts the people to be vigilant, to take care, and to never forget the things their eyes have seen—the wonders, the deliverance, the guidance of God. This is not just about holding memories; it is about letting those experiences form the core of who we are and how we live. Lent challenges us to let our interaction with God become a way of life, not just a temporary focus. It is a time to realign our hearts with the truth we have seen and known, to guard against forgetfulness, and to keep our souls awake to God’s enduring presence. And this remembrance is not meant to end with us—it must be shared, passed on, told to our children and grandchildren. The faithfulness of God becomes a story we live and a legacy we leave. In this way, Lent transforms from a season of preparation into a lifelong posture of awareness, humility, and generational witness. Through prayer, fasting, and acts of love, we embody the history of God’s mercy and continue the story in our own time. Let’s reflect: Lent is making the interaction of God with us, the legacy of our life.
