6 February - Ash Wednesday - Meditation


From today's gospel reading....
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust consume and where thieves break in and steal; but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust consumes and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.’

from Matthew 6

To reflect on....
What are the important things in my life? Is it security, money, recognition, status, other people, my own welfare? Perhaps something else?
Should we use this time in Lent to change our priorities and place God at the centre of our lives again?

Let's Pray....
Loving God, at the start of this Lenten season, we ask that you will lead us and inspire us to give time to you each day, so that we might nurture and deepen our relationship with you. Amen.
