Third Sunday in Lent
Against all our striving, it is possible to live from a place of renewal. This theme runs through all of today’s texts, culminating in the Bible’s favourite story – the restoration of the Prodigal Son.

Gilgal they called it
Captive shame is rolled away
A new phase begins!
*********************************

Today’s weight lifting,
Despair of soul grows lighter.
Joy is possible
*********************************

A new creation
The old is gone, the new come
Clear, fragrant and light
*********************************

When the Father ran
To welcome a wayward child
did he disgrace Self?
