Just A Minute: Does Lent mean anything to you?
Traditional at this time of year, households have a spring clean. A chance to feel the air through the house, sunlight lighting up the rooms.
Christians use the Lenten period similarly. We reflect on our faith, journey in our minds with Jesus from his temptations in the desert, his three year ministry and then his triumphal ride into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. This leads to his Last Supper, with his disciples. Then Jesus’ trial and crucifixion on Good Friday. For Christians the resurrection on Easter Sunday is a glorious celebration, showing that death is just a gateway to better things.
Lent is a chance to take time out and renew our commitment to all that Jesus teaches.
