Lent & Easter
What is Lent?
“Lent simply means “length,” and it designates the forty days leading up to Easter, not counting Sundays. (Sunday, the Lord’s Day, is always a day of feasting in celebration of the resurrection, a “little Easter.”) The Lent tradition began in the 3rd and 4th centuries of the early church. The practice derived from the biblical narrative of the people of Israel being tested in the wilderness for 40 years, as well as from Jesus’ forty-day fast in the wilderness. Lent is a time of reinitiation for the Christian, when we come back to the essential events that make us all “little Christs” in the first place: the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ and our identification with those events. We have been “crucified with Christ” (Gal. 2:20), and we have been “raised up with him” (Col. 2:12)” - Daily Prayer Project

Down in the depth of mine iniquity,
That ugly centre of infernal spirits;
Where each sin feels her own deformity,
In these peculiar torments she inherits,
Depriv’d of human graces, and divine,
Even there appears this loving God of mine.
