Serving Christ and Connecting Catholics in Western North Carolina
Lent is a season of fasting and abstinence, but Lent is more than about substituting bacon for salmon. For a Lenten meditation, let’s take a look at the Book of Jonah – it’s a 20-minute read of four chapters, but a life-changer for Jonah and for us!
“For it was fitting that (God), for whom and through whom all things exist, in bringing many children to glory, should make the leader to their salvation (Jesus) perfect through suffering.” (Hebrews 2:10). To become “perfect through suffering” sounds crazy at first. Who wants to suffer? No one does. Yet suffering is part of human life and it can be a prime teacher of wisdom.
