Dear Everyone,
Each day that passes brings us closer to the celebration of Easter. I want to thank Pam and Leslie for inviting me to join the All Things SR Podcast chatroom on Sunday, April 13th at 2PM Eastern for a chat about our Lenten readalong. Join me.
This past week, we read and reflected on the chapter entitled, “Do Good.” This week, we will be reading and reflecting on the chapter, “Stay in Love with God.” In this chapter, Bishop Job reflects on spiritual disciplines such as public worship, prayer, and reading Scripture. While it is a short chapter, there is much for us to think about and I look forward to your comments. When I reflect on public worship, I’m immediately drawn to the importance of music. Angela Little’s recording of the prayer of St Francis is a favourite, as is this choral performance of Psalm 130.
Lent continues to provide us with daily opportunities to develop and practice spiritual discipline. I have been focusing on prayer, reflection, and silence, and am more conscious than ever of my shortcomings and my need for grace and redemption. I am also keenly aware of my need to participate in community and in worship, and I am grateful to have opportunities for both.
I look forward with much hope to Easter and I am grateful that you have joined me on this journey.
Peace be with you all,
SR
