Lent is the 40-day period (not counting Sundays) before Easter. Historically, it was a time of preparation for people who were going to be baptized on Easter. It continues to be a time when we prepare our hearts and minds for a better understanding of Easter. The spiritual journey begins with Ash Wednesday, when we consider our mortality, and ends with the Resurrection of Christ, in which we realize our immortality in Him.
The staff at St. Luke’s has written daily devotionals to inspire you throughout the season of Lent. You can pick up your devotional booklet at any St. Luke’s Campus during normal working hours, you can download a copy by clicking the link below, or you can request to have one mailed to you below.
The Great War, World War 1, occurred between 1914 and 1918. Over these four years, some 8.5 million soldiers were killed in action. Millions more were wounded. Civilian casualties were significant as new technology, and the worldwide war swept over so many countries. World War 1 was so brutal that no one could imagine another war. It became known as the “War to End All Wars.”
