Lent 2007

Year C: Fourth Sunday of Lent

First Reading: Joshua 5: 9-12

Here we find the Israelites celebrating their homecoming - to the Promised Land. For the first time since their flight from Egypt, they celebrate the Passover Meal.

They remembered their deliverance from slavery and oppression and celebrated God’s faithfulness to the promise He made to Moses all those years before.

They may also have recalled their own weaknesses and lack of faith - and marvelled that, in the face of it all, God did not give up on them.

Every Passover Meal was (and is) a memorial of the great things that God did for His people.

It was given a new meaning for Christians when Jesus celebrated it for the last time with His disciples - His Last Supper.

What does it mean for me?

Have you celebrated a Passover Meal? Try to find the prayers that are used and listen to the remembrance of the faithfulness of God for his people.
