You are in the rugged, mountainous desert at the base of Mount Sinai. In this week's Scripture, the Israelites demonstrate human weakness

Week 11 E. Rafael,   You are in the rugged, mountainous desert at the base of Mount Sinai. In this week's Scripture, the Israelites demonstrate human weakness. They show how easy it is to fall back into old habits. They reveal to us the need to actively and continuously pursue the Lord. The Levites demonstrate that courageous fidelity to the Lord is possible even in a world of debauchery. The Lord reveals something greater than either. He shows the Israelites and us that he will always remain faithful to his covenant people, even when they (we) fail him. Listen closely to the Word in the Scriptures this week. Listen as he reveals his faithful love for you.   E. Rafael's Action Items 1. Follow Christ. Remember who is leading you, and remain reliant on him in prayer. Jesus has brought you this far and he will continue to lead you to the promised land. If you begin to think you have done this work on your own, he may allow you to see a glimpse of what you are capable of without him. That is, he may allow you to wander back to Egypt. Stay at the base of Mount Sinai, remaining reliant on the Lord.   Just as many of the Israelites lost patience with Moses as he remained forty days atop Mount Sinai, so you may be losing patience with some aspects of this spiritual exercise. You may have lost patience with prayer (thinking that the Lord is not speaking to you), with the difficulty of the ascetic practices, or with your fraternity brothers. Yet, it is exactly these things that have brought you to Week 11. Be patient, trust, and continue to surrender control. God will bring forth the freedom you seek.   2. Make a good confession before Easter. Although we've had this as an action item before, many spiritual guides suggest that the faithful make a good confession at least once a month. Don't let yourself or your sins get in the way of your freedom. Make a good confession this week, or at least before Easter. This is an important practice for living a life of freedom.   3. Check in with and pray for your anchor. After weeks of making a nightly examination, you have begun to know yourself better. Are you tempted to cut a corner, skip a reflection, avoid time with God in prayer, or even to completely turn back to the slavery you left behind? Check in with your anchor and share how you're doing. Even if you already checked in with him today, if you are concerned that you may fall, check in with your anchor again. It is far better to contact him in a moment of temptation than to have to explain to the whole fraternity why you didn't contact him, after you've fallen. Make sure to pray for him and for all your fraternity. Ask them to pray for you as well.   4. Do something to honor your wife (or someone else). If you have done a good job cultivating joy through gratitude and hope throughout these weeks, share that joy with your wife (if applicable, or another close family member or friend). Help them to see the fruit of your exodus.     Have a great week and pray for the freedom for all men in Exodus, just as they are praying for you.   Pray with Today's Reading and Reflection Your Exodus Brother,     Who will you invite?
