We are posting a brief day by day meditation from Forward Movement. It's a great way to start your morning! Just click on the website icon above.
The early Christians began celebrating the season of Lent with 40 days of penitence and fasting, representing the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness before he began his ministry.
As the first Christians prepared for the celebration of Easter, those who had committed notorious sins and had been excommunicated were allowed to repent and reenter the community through a process of reconciliation. Those who wished to join the community would spend the season of Lent in a process of learning and commitment. Prospective members would leave behind their old behaviors and separate themselves from their previous status. They were instructed in the ethical expectations and changed behavior that was expected as a disciple of Jesus. Lent was a period of transition and learning after which these new Christians would be welcomed into the new status with the sacrament of Baptism on Easter.
In this season we are invited to reflect on our lives and hear how God is calling us to be disciples of Christ. As we make our way with Jesus toward Jerusalem this Lent, may God bless you with the time for reflection and the space for listening to where God is calling you.
