2023 Lenten Devotions
Lent 2023
Dear Friends,
Our Lenten Devotion Booklet, written by fellow Christ Church parishioners, has sustained us in the Lenten wilderness each Lent since 2017. We have been sustained during the season of Lent in years when we could gather in person, having no comprehension that Lent could be otherwise. We have been sustained through two Lents when we could not gather due to the pandemic, an unthinkable and challenging time. And we were sustained last year when we could gather but many of us were both wary and weary, worn down by a pandemic that never seemed to end. This year, we approach Lent with a renewed sense of vitality at Christ Church. We are evermore aware of the gift and joy of being able to gather in person and the strength we draw from journeying through any wilderness together.
The reflections in this booklet come from the hearts of our fellow parishioners and remind us that none of us need travel alone. We journey together through the wilderness of Lent which gives us tools and strength for whatever wilderness we face in our lives. The journey through Lent takes us to Holy Week, to the cross, and to the glory of Easter and resurrection life. Ultimately, life and love win. This booklet is a testimony to that life and love.
Savor Lent. Let this Lent draw you closer to the love of God who is willing to give even God’s own life that we might live.
Lenten blessings+
