Lent is the six week period leading up to Easter. It’s one of the most important times of year for Christians during which the Church figuratively follows Jesus into the wilderness. It is observed, according to His example, as 40 days of worship and preparation through self-denial. Through sacrifice, participants may seek relief from an unnecessary dependence on lesser and lower things, in order to be filled with the greater and higher things of the Lord. While the light of Epiphany fades into the darkness and death of Good Friday, Lent prepares our souls and community for the mission of God in all seasons of life with a renewed dependence on the power of the Spirit and a clearer vision of Jesus.
