March 5, 2025 – Day Three
Hope is a gift from God. We must ask for it, so that its light may shine on our darkness.
~ Pope Francis
Ponder:
When was the last time I truely believed in God’s unconditional love for me?
Pray:
God of hope, help me to watch for you, listen for you, and find you in the smallest moments of every day!
Reflection from Marian and Guy Brethour:
Pope Francis shares and reminds us that God is with us. . . “This gift is already within us – we just have to help it grow.” Yes, God’s Divine Presence is within all of us, hovers over us, generation to generation, allowing us to tap into the depths of hope buried within us.
Pope Francis’ words encourage us to:
1 – Begin to find the STRENGTH and CONVICTION within us;
2 – Know God is always present in our lives;
3 – Embrace and rely on prayer – ‘Jesus, I trust in You’.
