Second Sunday In Lent: Reminiscere.

“Remember your compassionate and faithful deeds, O Lord,

for you have always acted in this manner.” (Psalm 25:6)

On this second Sunday in Lent, we use the Latin term “Reminiscere” (Latin for "Remember"). Lord, we are longing for You to remember what You did for us in the past… and we are longing for You to do good for us again. 

It is encouraging to know that God's act of remembering is not simply reminiscing. There is also the aspect of looking forward in hope and expectation, a secure knowledge that our God is continually able to move on behalf of those He loves.

We ask not because we deserve it, but because You have allowed us to ask. We approach You by the blood of Your Son Jesus, fully confident in Your ability to see, speak, and act according to Your own Divine will.

What would you like our Lord to remember today?
