Ash Wednesday (Feb. 13) and the First Sunday in Lent (Feb. 17) Lent Ash WednesdayLent is a time for spiritual renewal, a time to deny ourselves the luxuries of life so we can focus on greater issues. What is my place before God? How can I improve my relationships with others? Lent, then, is a season for others. DAILY READINGS FOR THE WEEKDAYS AFTER ASH WEDNESDAY The First Sunday in LentThe Temptation in the desert sums up the theme of Lent: forty days of denial to test the resolve of our faith. Lent can be a time of new beginnings; it can also be a time that rudely reminds us of our shortcomings. But, it is a time for possibilities and growth. Changes to the Weekday Gospel Reflections
You may have noticed a few changes in the Weekday Gospel Reflections. They're being sent the day before, mid-day in the United States; I moved up the delivery time for readers in Australia (who are twelve hours ahead). The Reflections also have links to the studies for the entire week and the coming Sunday, so you can look ahead, if you wish. Keep your emails coming, so we can improve word-sunday.com! |
