02 Feb 08 - Welcome everyone,
Ash Wednesday approaches and I ask you to stop by here periodically and share your Lenten journey with the rest of us. Maybe its photos of your church's fish fry, a favorite prayer or reflection, whatever it may be -- join us and share a little of yourself over the next forty days.
“Thou hast made us for thyself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they find their rest in thee..”
- St. Augustine

About Lent, 40 Days in the WildernessLent is the period of fasting and preparation begining on Ash Wednesday and Ending on Maundy Thursday. (This differs slightly in the Eastern Church.) The Church provides this special opportunity to reflect on our lives and become more aware of the times we have failed to live up to our baptimal promises. Prayer, fasting, almsgiiving and Friday fish fries are some of the icons of this season. |
