Rise, Take Up Your Bed and Walk — 5th Week — Day 7 — Great Lent
Gospel Reading: John 5:1–18
Key Verse: “Jesus said to him, ‘Rise, take up your bed and walk.’” (John 5:8)
Meditation:
Today, Christ says to you: Rise! Rise from sin, fear, shame, or spiritual paralysis. He doesn’t just want to heal you—He calls you to walk in righteousness, carry your cross, and follow Him into a new life.
Wisdom from the Early Church Fathers:
“God’s mission was not to save people in order that they may remain barren or inert.” – St. John Chrysostom
Daily Spiritual Practice:
Make today the day you RISE. Schedule a time to meet with your father of confession. Let the grace of repentance lift you from your weakness. Christ is waiting.
