Hello Steve, Enjoy our Saints News! 
HEAD OF SCHOOL MUSING

The Lenten season, for Christians around the world and right here in our valley, has begun – preparation for the death and resurrection of Jesus on Easter. At school, we recognized Shrove Tuesday with a pancake breakfast, and at Wednesday’s chapel, Ms. Nock shared a message connecting us to the meaning of Ash Wednesday. And for those who follow the church’s liturgical calendar, Lent follows for the next 40 days, ending before Easter Sunday. Why 40 days?

 

The Lenten 40-day tradition is based on Jesus’ example when he spent 40 days in the wilderness, fasting, praying, and spending time with His Father – God. So we too, who call ourselves Christians or Jesus followers, have the opportunity to take time to prepare ourselves for the most important events in Jesus’ life – His death for us followed by His resurrection, again for us. 

 

For me, during this season I read and reflect on daily devotionals from these three books – Lent for Everyone, God is on the Cross: Reflections on Lent and Easter, and God for Us: Rediscovering the Meaning of Lent and Easter. I share them with you so that you might experience the same richness.

 

If you’ve stepped away from the Christian faith, never had a Christian faith, or are actively pursuing your Christian faith, I’d recommend having an open mind about what Lent 2023 could mean for you. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus promises this to you. Would you take Him at His word?

 

Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly. – Jesus
