Episode 5: March 13 - First Sunday in Lent

Sunday at last.

A little break from

the dust and ashes.

Do you know?

There are no Sundays of lent?

There are Sundays of advent.

There are Sundays in lent.

“In” but not “of.”

In the midst of

but not participating in.

Every Sunday is a little Easter.

I need that every week because

life can get heavy.

Especially during lent I need that because

lent can get heavy.

I need these little Easters

to keep me on track

to remind me why I am on

this heavy Lenten journey

as I move toward

the big Easter.

“This is the day that the Lord has made;

      let us rejoice and be glad in it.”                            (Psalm 118:24)
