March 27-April 2 Reflection on Reading

Reflection on Reading Great Lent

We have completed reading Great Lent. Now, I invite you to reflect on that reading as it pertains to your journey to Pascha this Lent.

Schmemann stresses the need to “take Lent seriously” and suggests ways to do so. These spiritual practices include: attendance at Lenten services, prayer and fasting, alms giving, and learning.

Which of these practices are you keeping?
Are you experiencing these practices more as obligation or as an increased desire for communion with God?

The spiritual journey of Lent is one of repentance. This is a time of bright sadness. A time of sadness that leads to repentance and joy of forgiveness.

How are you experiencing this bright sadness?
