Lenten Devotions
Lent 2019
Dear Friends,
Lent is a wilderness we enter together. Jesus went into the wilderness by himself after his baptism where the temptations the devil offered him forced him to wrestle with the meaning of his identity as the Son of God. We go into the wilderness of Lent to wrestle with the meaning of our identity as children of God and how that identity calls us to live and be in the world. But we do not go alone. We have the Holy Spirit, as did Jesus, but we also have each other. We gather on Sundays throughout this holy season for strength and nourishment. We gather on Wednesday evenings for Evensong and the sip of cool water in the desert of Lent that this service provides. We gather throughout the week in a variety of other ways that nourish us on this journey. This Lenten Reflection booklet allows us to journey through Lent together every day, regardless of whether we are physically together or apart. There is a wealth of wisdom contained in these pages. Whether from a seven year old, or a person in their ninth decade, and all the ages in between, the wisdom and insights here will nourish our souls and provide manna for the journey as we prepare to welcome the Risen Christ on Easter morning. Lenten blessings, Charlotte
