Lent comes from the Anglo Saxon word lencten, which means "spring." The forty days represents the time Jesus spent in the wilderness, enduring the temptation of Satan and preparing to begin his ministry. Lent is a time of repentance, fasting and preparation for the coming of Easter. It is a time of self-examination and reflection. In the early church, Lent was a time to prepare new converts for baptism. Today, Christians focus on their relationship with God, often choosing to give up something or to volunteer and give of themselves for others. Sundays in Lent are not counted in the forty days because each Sunday represents a "mini-Easter" and the reverent spirit of Lent is tempered with joyful anticipation of the Resurrection. As we prepare for the Season of Lent I challenge you to take on a new Lenten discipline. Maybe it’s fasting from a favorite food or drink. Maybe it’s adding on a new spiritual discipline or study. Begin to prayerfully discern what God might be calling for you to do to make this Lenten Season one of introspection and celebration. Blessings, Melody
