Ruth and Steve discuss the lectionary readings for the fifth Sunday of Lent and the call to prepare ourselves for whatever new things God desires to do in us.

In this conversation Ruth and Steve also ask us to consider how to discern when it\u2019s time to put things behind us, how we perceive the new thing God is doing and lean into it, and what it means to move into divine forgetfulness when the situation calls for it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Lectionary Readings for the fifth Sunday of Lent, Cycle C:<\/strong><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=122#hebrew_reading\">Isaiah 43:16-21<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=122#psalm_reading\">Psalm 126<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=122#epistle_reading\">Philippians 3:4b-14<\/a>\u00a0 \u2022 <a href=\"https:\/\/lectionary.library.vanderbilt.edu\/texts.php?id=122#gospel_reading\">John 12:1-8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join us for a VIRTUAL Stations of the Cross service on Friday, April 15 at 12pm CST.
