THOUGHTS IN LENT
"The old German word for springtime is 'Lenz' which is also connected with our word Lent. Here in Germany, however, it is generally said that 'Lent' (which they sometimes use here, although the German term is 'Fastenzeit') comes from the Latin word 'lentus' which means slow, calm, quiet, reposeful, deliberate--all words that refer to the attitude we are to have during the 40 days of fasting."
--Mary in Berlin, Germany
"Ash Wednesday. Lent's forty day beginning. Reflecting and repenting as we think of all that Christ came to break and came to offer...then, three days after the cross, we will be those for whom great remembering rejoicing will come. Reflecting. Repenting. Rejoicing. Fasting. Feasting. Easter's coming.
Like the ebb and flow of the tidal marsh creek nearby, the seasons of the church year add a rhythm to our worship. Beginnings. Endings. Changes. Constancy. Fasting. Feasting. Heart journeys for celebrating, confessing, over and over again. Easter's coming."
--Lane in St. Simons, Georgia, USA
"Our Lenten Roses are showing up through our snows, and the morning air sifting thru our open bedroom windows smell of new life."
--Dan in Denver, Colorado, USA
