MARCH 14

Turning to Christ on His Cross
PRAYER.

Make me, O Lord, understand how much Your love has done for me. I offer You my little acts of self-sacrifice in union with those of Yours on the Cross.

AWAKE, then, with this season of Lent, to meet your Lord, Who now summons you from His Cross. Stand ready to suffer with Him that you may rise together with Him.

He can write the Law on your hearts and thereby take away the old curse which by nature you inherit. He has done this for many in times past. Why should He not do it for you?

-Moses the Type of Christ
