Psalm 13
By Bradley Yam, SY ‘21. Bradley is majoring in Ethics, Politics & Economics.
I remember when I walked in knowledge that you love me, I remember when I thought of you and felt only joy, I remember when I was sure that you were so near to me, I could almost reach out and touch you.
In Spite of Ourselves
By Vienna Scott, BF '21. Vienna is majoring in Religious Studies and Political Science.
In this Lenten season we intentionally commit small acts, acts which will never come close to Christ’s sacrifice, because God loves us in spite of ourselves. In light of this, we offer our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—as our true and proper worship. We strive to break the patterns of this world, and are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
Hunger and Thirst
Ana Yee ’21 is a History & Science concentrator living in Kirkland House.
When we recognize that our physical needs are a means to understanding our spiritual need, we give our experiences value while keeping them properly submitted to the grander process of spiritual growth. Lent is a time to intentionally put ourselves in a place of physical need through fasting or forgoing pleasure so that we can better understand and express our spiritual longing for God.
What Is It All About?
By Titilayo Mabogunje, GH '20.
However, in a culture where there is so much emphasis on what “I” can do and how “I” should control my time and how “I” need to look out for my best interest, the gospel message seems extremely radical. It says it’s not about what “I” can do; it’s not about or how awesome “I” am; it’s not even about how sinful “I” am. Rather, it’s all about what God has done and who He is.
Psalm 63
By Allen Lai ’20. Allen is a junior in Quincy House concentrating in Chemistry and Physics.
So too, today, we can look in the past at Christ’s death and resurrection, and remember the Lord in all of our ways, and seek him with all our heart. As we do so, he promises that he will make our paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6), and that we will find him (Jeremiah 29:13).
Surrender
By Isabella Zou, TD '21.
let it hope—
let it grip, let it hiss not my will but yours
yours
