Lenten Devotional Booklet

lenten devotion graphicWelcome to the 2015 Church of the Ascension Lenten Devotional. This devotional is a reprint from 2003. As you complete each day’s readings and writings, we hope you will feel encouraged to sit with God’s words and the words of our current and former fellows from Church of the Ascension.

Lent is a deeply spiritual time for each of us which takes meaning in as many unique ways as a snowflake that falls in February. The Spiritual Development Committee hopes you find the readings and writings helpful as you move through the Lenten season, and prepare your heart, mind and body for the Paschal Feast. Wherever you and God go on a journey over the next forty days, we hope you are able to do so with an honesty, openness and willingness that allows God to touch you in ways which bring you closer to God, closer to yourself and closer to your fellows.

Thanks be to God.
