Lent for Everyone, Luke, Year C.

by N.T. Wright
 
Lent is the church’s springtime: a time of new beginnings and fresh discoveries. We invite you to join us this Lent in discovering the message of the gospel in a new way: in a discussion that takes place whenever and wherever you choose to participate.
 
From Ash Wednesday through Easter Saturday (i.e. February 13 – April 7), we will focus our attention on a small reading from the gospel according to Luke, followed by a very brief daily reflection. Those passages and comments on them can be found in the recently published book “Lent for Everyone: Luke, Year C” by N.T. Wright. It is available in paperback, Kindle and Nook editions.
 
After reading the two-page entry for the day, we invite you to join a conversation on it, which will take place in a blog format on our Facebook page as well right here on our web site by simply scrolling down.
 
We hope that Bishop Wright’s contemporary and engaging translation, along with his short reflections and thought-starters on the passages, will help you to enter into the stories in a new way. And we hope that this fresh approach to a discussion will encourage you to take part on a regular basis, whenever and wherever you can.
