Lenten Journey

Welcome to the season of Lent!  The church season of Lent begins with Ash Wednesday on March 9 and ends with the Great Vigil of Easter. It covers forty days (forty-six if we include Sundays) as preparation for the greater fifty-day season of Easter.  To see my Ash Wednesday sermon preached at All Souls' Parish, Berkeley follow the link http://www.llministries.com/Ash_Wednesday_2011.pdf.  "Memento mori" (remember that you are going to die) is the meditation theme of this sermon.  Sounds morbid?  Maybe it really is life-giving!
