Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on February 18th and continues until Easter morning, April 5th. Lent is not simply a time to give up something you like.
“ Lent is not a ritual, it is time given to think seriously about who Jesus is for us, to renew our faith from the inside out, ”
says Sister Joan Chittister, O.S.B. Lent provides us with the opportunity to remember how God has been with us, examine how he is with us and to renew our anticipation of how he will be with us.
During Lent, Trinity will provide a weekly, Lenten Prayer Meditation designed by Carol McLaughlin, our pastoral intern, to help us walk this Lenten journey of preparation on our way to the Cross. The invitation is to take 15 minutes 3 or 4 days a week to pray in particular ways. Some ways may seem familiar, some exciting, some stretching, but in all an invitation to more deeply prepare our hearts for the death and resurrection of Christ.
These Lenten Prayer Mediations will be posted on the website each week.
