Lent began yesterday and International Women’s Day is on Saturday.

Jesus emphasized the importance of showing mercy and compassion to others, particularly the marginalized, oppressed and vulnerable. In the parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus tells the story of a man who, despite cultural animosities, extends mercy to a stranger in need.

 Jubilee was a great opportunity to bond as a community and learn more about how faith in Jesus changes every aspect of our lives.

Each morning throughout Lent we will start our day with a new focus in prayer. In addition to drawing from the 2019 BCP, these prayers are offered by many voices, including US Trustees, ARDF Staff, and various supporters and friends of ARDF.

That’s the invitation for this Lenten season: to turn from sin, and prepare with joy for the resurrection season. It’s an invitation to forty days of intentional reorientation together in response to the grace of God found in Christ Jesus our Lord and empowered by his Holy Spirit.

Our fasting should be in service to God. A fast that is self-serving and self-gratifying is not a fast at all.  God desires a fast that is beneficial to his kingdom work in the world. 

This week, we enter the season of Lent, a time in the church calendar in which we intentionally lament all that is wrong in the world, all the hard soil that has yet to bear fruit. I am grateful for this tithe of our year in which our worship gives voice to all our grief and frustration.

We are in still in Epiphany, but Lent is coming soon (March 5th), and it is such an important season that it warrants some forethought and preparation. For those of you unfamiliar with Lent or in need of a refresher, keep reading!
