We had only met briefly during a congress. We had spent the length of a coffee break together. In it, I had told a little about myself when asked. Then someone joined us, so that a personal exchange was no longer possible. I felt a sadness in my soul, I had seen a sorrow in the eyes of my counterpart. Unfortunately, there would be no time left at the end of the meeting. I felt the eye-gaze into the soul of this person accompanying me. On the way home, I prayed and commended him to God's inventive and caring love. When I woke up early the next morning, my first thought was to pray for him again. During this time, I thought of the Lent that was just ahead. With young people we would set out on the journey "Bridging people: 40 days - 40 opportunieties!". I felt what an opportunity Jesus would give me during this time. So I wrote a WhatsApp, asking if I could drop in on one of the Lenten Sundays. A joyful invitation was the reply. God is at work.
