We lament all those whose lives were lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our hearts break for all of the people who are no longer with us. We also lament other losses that include jobs and livelihoods, the opportunity to travel to visit loved ones and the ability to worship together in our church buildings. So much was lost, with little or no time to lament that which was lost. Because of the magnitude of these collective losses, Episcopal Relief and Development decided to focus on lament as the theme for the 2021 Lenten Meditations.

You are invited to meditate on these reflections daily by resting, reflecting, repenting, and ultimately being restored to God and to one another.

Here you'll find booklets in Spanish and in English. If you would like to subscribe to receive these meditations daily in your inbox, that option is available as well.

Contact Lindsey Harts if you have any additional questions.
