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.

Tuesday

Psalm 53
Leviticus 25:1-19
Revelation 19:9-10
What does God see when he looks down on you? Does he see that you are seeking him? Or does he see you turn away?

Remember, God is watching you. And me too. (He’s watching me - I’m not watching you.)

I love this song, it’s been sung both by Bette Midler and by Nanci Griffith.




From A Distance (Julie Gold)


From a distance the world looks blue and green

And the snow-capped mountains white

From a distance the ocean meets the stream

And the eagle takes to flight


From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It's the voice of hope, it's the voice of peace

It's the voice of every man



From a distance we all have enough

And no one is in need

There are no guns, no bombs, no diseases

No hungry mouths to feed



From a distance we are instruments

Marching in a common band

Playing songs of home, playing songs of peace

They're the songs of every man

God is watching us, God is watching us

God is watching us from a distance



From a distance you look like my friend

Even though we are at war

From a distance I can't comprehend

What all this war is for



From a distance there is harmony

And it echoes through the land

It's the hope of hopes, it's the love of loves

It's the heart of every man



It's the hope of hopes, It's the love of loves

It's the song of every man
