“Christ Mourning the City,” by Paul Hippolyte Flandrin (1904)
|
|
“Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing!” Luke 13.34
The chasm between mankind and God is so big we cannot overcome it. We would kill the prophet, but our God responds with a heartfelt desire to mother us. In times of trouble we struggle to feel
God’s presence not realizing He’s right beside us or perhaps its us: we’ve turned away from Him. In this Lenten season may we turn and commit ourselves to seeking the face of God. I love the heart of the Psalmist when he says of God, “You speak in my heart and say, ‘Seek my face.’ Your face, Lord, will I seek.”
The Rev. Dawn Vukich +

- Feast days and Sundays are not counted as Fast days during Lent.
- Violet is the liturgical color used in lent. (Extra credit: violet is the traditional color signifying mourning.)
- Give yourself a point if you answered at least three of these (you are required to give them all up, though!): chocolate, social media, swearing, alcohol, soda, sweets, fast food, meat, coffee, sex.
- Spring. The English word Lent is a shortened form of the Old English word len(c)ten, meaning "spring season," as its Dutch language cognate lente (Old Dutch lentin) still does today.
