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.
I recently celebrated another birthday. It was a wonderful day of celebration. It was also a time to reflect back on the blessings of my life. While talking with my family that day, we discussed one of my birthday memories from my childhood. From this story, I began to learn the importance of hospitality and caring for others.
