WHAT IS LENT? In liturgical churches like ours who find the cycles and celebrations of the traditional church calendar—Advent, Christmas, Epiphany, etc.—a helpful spiritual tool, Lent is the season of 40+ days that lead from Ash Wednesday to Easter. During Lent, we focus on the call of Christ to examine our lives, our choices, to hold them up to the light of God’s Gospel of justice, peace, and compassion, to notice where the shape of our lives does not conform to God’s intended pattern, and then, empowered by grace, step out in faith to try, try again. Lent is a time for letting go of unhelpful and unhealthy habits of mind, body, and spirit, and setting out intention to live into better ones.
