Listen To Lent

These materials are offered to you as a way to listen to and pray through the season of Lent; a season of reflection, prayer and growth. The lessons are from the Daily Readings of the ELW and are intended to read us up to and away from the Sundays in Lent. The readings that begin on Wednesday lead us toward the Sunday readings and the Monday and Tuesday readings lead us away from Sunday.

Offered here is a simple way to make use of the readings each day, may you find it helpful to your Lenten discipline.


Begin

In the name of the Father, and of the + Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

The First Lesson

The Psalm


The Second Lesson

The Gospel.

Reflect

Spend a few moments reflecting on a word or phrase or question that caught your attention. Write something about it if you are so moved.

The Prayers

Bring before God your thoughts, concerns and celebrations.

Close with the Lord’s Prayer

Benediction

The Lord Almighty order our days and our deeds in peace. Amen.

Enjoy the journey. Let us pray together.

Second Sunday in Lent

Prayer of the Day
God of the covenant, in the mystery of the cross you promise everlasting life to the world. Gather all peoples into your arms, and shelter us with your mercy, that we may rejoice in the life we share in your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Genesis 15:1-12, 17-18
Psalm 27
Philippians 3:17—4:1
Luke 13:31-35
"Wait for the Lord and be strong. Take heart and wait for the Lord!"
Are you feeling persecuted? Downtrodden? Today's readings offer assurance that although we may doubt or resist God's desire to protect and save us, we should stand firm in the Lord and in our commitment to Him, just as he stands firm in his commitment to us. God's covenant with Abram continues today. There are rewards for us - the Lord is my light and my salvation. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
