Themes of Great Lent

3/7/2023

 
As we have arrived at the season of Great Lent, we pause and take a deep breath before we plunge into this season of spiritual challenge, grace and beauty. The journey we now start is not one that we travel on alone but one that we share with each other, primarily through our liturgical worship together as a community.

In the wisdom of the Church we have many themes revealing the unique and blessed season of Great Lent for us. These themes are most powerfully seen each Sunday during Great Lent and encourage us on our struggle against our passions and grow ever closer to our Savior. They provide 'milestones' on our journey towards Pascha, Christ's Resurrection, and help us chart the path forward each and every week.

If you are unfamiliar with the unique Sundays of Great Lent, or simply need a refresher, I found a wonderful 10 minute video that summarizes these key themes to focus us during the season of Great Lent and set a course for us as we travel together through it. I pray it is a blessing for you!
Blessed Lent! Kali Sarakosti!

In Christ,

Fr. Steve
