Sermon Introduction –
In our gospel reading, Jesus compares us to a hen gathering chicks underneath her wings. What a beautiful image! God brings us together, watching over us like a mothering bird. How can you lean in?
Introduction to this week’s readings –
Though we sometimes doubt and often resist God’s desire to protect and save us, our God persists. In holy baptism, God’s people have been called and gathered into a God-initiated relationship that will endure. Lent provides the church with a time and a tradition in which to seek God’s face again. Lent provides another occasion to behold the God of our salvation in the face of the Blessed One who “comes in the name of the Lord.”
