Lenten note from our Rector
Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 3:43PM On Ash Wednesday we begin the forty-day season of Lent. This is a traditional time for all of us to prepare ourselves for the great celebration of the Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Personally, I enter Lent in a spiritually reflective posture. It is a time for spiritual examination. Many years ago a mentor told me to remember that in the same way that is wise to have a medical doctor give me am annual physical examination, in the same vein it is prudent to have the Great Physician Jesus Christ provide a spiritual check up. Consequently, I like to purposively fast and pray. I also need to reassess my stewardship of time and fiscal resources.
Consider Psalm 139:23: “Search me, O God, and know my heart; try me, and know my anxieties; and see if there is any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.”
As your pastor, I invite you to join me in observing a meaningful and Holy Lent.
In Christ,
Pastor Lyle
