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 Second Lesson

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.

Friday

Psalm 32
Joshua 4:14-24
2 Corinthians 5:6-15
"Happy are those whose transgression is forgiven" "We walk by faith, not by sight" "Don't worry, be happy"
Our faith is a gift and our prayers are an expression of that faith. Faith is our flashlight, our guide when the path is unclear. When we are forgiven - a true gift, it is only right to give thanks, to express that joy; confident that we are one in Christ Jesus. In this journey in the wilderness of Lent, don't forget your flashlight! It is impossible to navigate by sight - offer up your prayers, know that your sins are forgiven - be happy!
