Today’s Lenten Reading is from Priest Joseph Langford. You can read his biography here on the occasion of his death in 2010. Langford’s contribution to “Bread and Wine” is his meditation entitled “I Thirst for You.” It is written from the perspective of Christ talking to each one of us. Personally, I would probably be more comfortable with more Scripture citation but nothing in the meditation contradict the Christ described in Scripture and in fact brings it to light in a fresh and intimate way. I will just include the following excerpt and forego any comment as it (in a manner Jesus) speaks for itself:
I know you through and through- I know everything about you. The very hairs of your head I have numbered. Nothing in your life is unimportant to me, I have followed you through the years, and I have always loved you- even in your wanderings.
Grace and Peace
