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.
One of the favorite movies in my house is, The Tale of Despereaux. This is animated is movie based on the book of the same title by Kate DiCamillo. The book features a mouse, who becomes a hero of sorts, named Despereaux, a princess named Pea, and a rat named Roscuro. These three character’s stories are brought together by soup.
