This year for Lent, I invite you to join me in meditating on the Passion Narrative of Christ. Where do you find yourself in the story? What impact does the cross have on your everyday life?
Take some time to read slowly through the passages listed for each week. What is the Spirit speaking to your heart? What “wonderings” arise within you? How is God calling you to respond?
I offer my own simple reflections (100 words or less), just to get us started…
WHEN THE SUN STOPS SHINING
It is about noon
when the sun stops shining
The sanctuary veil is torn
when the sun stops shining
The breath of life stops breathing
when the sun stops shining
This man is righteous
when the sun stops shining
They lay him in the tomb
when the sun stops shining
They rest on the Sabbath
when the sun stops shining
Now we grieve
when the sun stops shining
Now we wait
when the sun stops shining
Now we hope
until the sun shines bright again.
I compiled this playlist for Lent last year and the songs are still just as powerful and relevant today. Enjoy…
