Daily, except Sundays
Many people find the season of Lent a helpful time for reflecting on their own journeys of faith. For over fifteen years, Lutherans Connect has assisted in this practice by offering daily devotions with music, scripture, poetry and reflective writing. Once again, we invite you to join us daily (except Sundays) for a time of meditation and renewal.
This season, we look at "the body as sacred space,” how each of us is made in God’s image. How much do we idealize what bodies should look like or be capable of? How can we challenge those preconceptions to see the sacred that lies within each human being?
As Christians in Lent, we can reflect on the word “body” in several ways: the "body" of Christ is the corporeal body of Jesus that will be hung on the Cross. The body is also a real presence we experience during Holy Communion, as we remember the body and blood sacrificed by Jesus. And the "body of Christ" can be the universal community of followers of Jesus.
We will also explore how our bodies hold our diverse identities. Our physical, emotional and spiritual experiences are all a part of being embodied. They help to make up who we are. How do our cultural histories impact how we think about the body?
Join us as we walk in faith together. And may the peace of Christ bless you on your Lenten journey.
