Weekday Devotions For Lent
Friday, March 24, 2023
Breath Prayer
Use a simple phrase as you breathe in and out to center yourself and find space for prayer. Today’s Breath Prayer is inspired by the short but powerful verse John 11:35: “Jesus wept.”
Daily Gospel Reading
John 10:7-11 
7 So again Jesus said to them, “Very truly, I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and bandits, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the gate. Whoever enters by me will be saved and will come in and go out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
11 “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.

"Lux Aeterna"
The final piece of a requiem brings us back to remembering the eternal promises of God. As Jesus gets closer to Jerusalem, John’s Gospel gives us a hint of what is to come in the story of Lazarus’s death and resurrection. But before Lazarus emerges from his tomb, Jesus weeps.  

Worship Scripture: John 11:1-35  

Guiding Questions:
As you long for the eternal light, what brings you to tears in the meanwhile? How do you, like Jesus, sit with others in their grief? And how do you help to wipe the tears away from the cheeks of those around you? What might be a ‘tear-wiping’ activity for you this week?  
Music to Accompany your Devotional
Music is an important part of our faith: it comforts us, connects us to others as we join them in song,
and is a means of praising God. Many hymns draw on texts from the Bible, connecting us with other believers across time and space as we learn and repeat words that have been precious to prior generations and to our kin across the globe.
Lenten Drawing Prompts for Kids
These prompts are meant to keep children engaged and help children connect with the gospel in your family’s Lenten devotional practices.

March 24-25: Draw a picture of a flock of sheep and a shepherd. 
March 26: Draw a picture of someone who is sick.
