A MESSAGE FROM PASTOR RICHARD
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; his love endures forever.”
- Psalm 107: 1
We are now entering the second weekend of Lent. Since many of us are wanting to learn more about Lent, I’m going to write each week about something you may not know about this season. I had someone ask me last week: Why don’t Sunday’s count in the 40 days of Lent? This is a great question! If you’re reading the devotional for this week, the author touches on this in his reflection.
Sunday’s don’t count because they are a day of celebration. Easter is the Sunday when we commemorate Jesus’ rising from the dead every year. But it isn’t only on Easter that we celebrate the resurrection. Every Sunday is a “mini-Easter” when we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The 40 days of Lent are days of penance and fasting, which would not fit in well with a day of celebration. Sunday’s during Lent are days when we take a break from the penance and fasting of the rest of Lent to rest and celebrate.
In the midst of this contemplative season when we journey with Jesus to the cross, it’s important to fast and pray, but also don’t forget to make time on Sundays to celebrate and give thanks. For Jesus Christ has risen from the dead. And we can celebrate that no matter the season.
May the Love of God be with you,
Pastor Richard
