Purposeful Lenten Actions

Harriet Tubman:

I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves.

-Harriet Tubman

As a conductor on the Underground Railroad, Harriet Tubman risked her life time and again to guide enslaved people to safety. But she faced an unexpected challenge – some people didn’t realize they could break free from their chains.

Her words reach beyond her time to touch us today. Think about the habits that hold us back, the situations we accept because “that’s just how things are.” Tubman shows us that the first step toward change is seeing the bars of our cage. She didn’t just lead people to physical freedom – she opened their eyes to possibilities.

Each person she helped had to make a choice: stay in what was familiar or take that brave first step toward something better.



By sharing her story, she lit a spark of courage in others.

Today, we can carry Tubman’s torch by helping others see their strength. All it takes is one person saying, “You deserve better,” to start a chain reaction. When we speak up about unfair situations at work, in our communities, or in our relationships, we follow in her footsteps.

During this Lenten season and especially in our troubled world today, keep our eyes open and on the pathway to a better life. Continue to pray and be drawn closer to God.
