How to Keep a Holy Lent
I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination, by prayer, fasting, and self- denial; and by reading and meditating on God’s holy Word.” (Book of Common Prayer, p. 265).
These words from the Ash Wednesday liturgy echo the ancient view that Lent is a special season – a holy season – which can be a great gift to those who observe this time of the Church Year. Like most things in life, this will not happen automatically. For Lent to be a holy season, we are required to make some choices about how we will live during these 40 days so that we might have an enhanced experience of our Lord’s presence in our lives. The spiritual practices mentioned above may sound like the description of the life and discipline of a monk or nun. And yet they are practical things that everyone one of us can do, without causing ourselves great discomfort or inconvenience. Let’s look at how this can be so.
Holy Family Episcopal Church welcomes St. Clair Baptist Church to share our space as St. Clair Baptist Church journeys towards the establishment of their own building.
