A Call to Awareness and Accompaniment | Fifth Sunday Lenten Reflection

About this episode

Jabril Robinson reflects on the importance of looking outward during Lent to connect with others through small moments of support.

Jabril Robinson reflects on how Lent invites us to not only look inward, but also to look out of ourselves at one another. He notes that looking outward does not have to take the form of a "grand gesture," but often can be found in small moments. Jabril connects this to Jesus' parable of the grain of wheat—in order to help others we, too, must look for moments of "breaking open" to reach outside of ourselves and make time for others.
