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.

Psalm 126

Exodus 12:21-27

John 11:45-57

In reading this passage in Exodus about the Passover story, I am reminded of earlier readings which assure us of God’s love and protection, of His watching over us. This reinforces the message that not only are we under God’s sheltering wing, but that we are marked and identified by our rituals and practices.

What are the outward signs of your faith and devotion? How will you be identified as one of the Chosen People?
