Weekday Devotions For Lent
Friday, February 24, 2023
Welcome to Lakeside's Weekday Lenten Devotionals. If you are a News from Church subscriber, you will receive these devotionals Monday-Friday throughout Lent. Devotionals include daily scripture reading, regular videos, and occasional music and drawing prompts to support your personal study.
A Breath Prayer
Use a simple phrase as you breathe in and out to center yourself and find space for prayer.
Today’s Breath Prayer is the ancient monastic prayer often referred to as “The Jesus Prayer.” An expanded version of the prayer could also be “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner” (based on the prayer of the Publican in Luke 18:13).

Inhale: Lord Jesus Christ,
Exhale: Have mercy on me.
Daily Gospel Reading
John 1:18
The Word Became Flesh
18 No one has ever seen God. It is the only Son, himself God, who[a] is close to the Father’s heart,[b] who has made him known.

"Requiem Aeternam"
“Requiem” comes from the Latin for rest. The season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday, a day when we remember that we are made of dust and to dust we shall return (Gen 3:19) – something more in line with the ways “requiem” now brings to mind music or worship rites related to death and burial. 

Worship Scripture: Psalm 51

Guiding Question:
How might remembering our mortality and remembering our call to rest be related?
