Lent gives us forty days and forty nights ~
To read
To pray
To listen
To consider
To grow in the darkness of Crucifixion
So that we might
Burst into the Easter light of Resurrection.
May God bless you in this season.
*****************
Lent 2020 begins Wednesday, February 26, Ash Wednesday.
Ash Wednesday is marked by services throughout the day, services of deep reverence when worshipers share the Eucharist then leave in silence, bearing the cross marked in ash on their forehead.
Thus begins Lent.
