We go on the Lenten journey with a trusted guide, the grace-filled, shepherding love of God.—Bishop Todd Hunter
Lent is traditionally a time for inner reflection, and this year, we will examine the effect of COVID on our lives. To grow from trauma, you must first become aware of it, so we invite you to reflect on how COVID has impacted you, your family and your faith community over the last two years. Let’s take an inventory of our lives with the hope of coming into a new season marked by Easter resurrection.
Each of the six Sundays in Lent, we will send an email to the C4SO newsletter community containing the Lenten meditation and Examen for that week. Don’t get our newsletter? Sign up here.
