Lenten Lantern - Start of Lenten Journey 2013
Online Lenten Devotion from St John’s Marthoma Church, UK

Dearly Beloved,

We are soon to set our journey towards Golgotha and begin the Great Lent of 2013. It is one of the most important seasons of our liturgical year. Lent is a period of looking into ourselves, identifying our wrongs, confessing them with a broken heart and starting anew. The Great Lent is also the appropriate time to conduct a comprehensive audit of our lives. We ourselves must prepare an audit report after evaluating our spiritual lives. We must pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit to create an awareness of our sins so that we might experience true repentance during this Great Lent.

This year the great Lent begins on 10th February. Like last year, we will be sending daily online devotions (Lenten Lantern) to all of you to have a meaningful quiet time and devotion during Great Lent. Lenten Lantern provides light as we journey in this season of Great Lent to reflect on the meaning, message and direction of the passion of Christ and the observance of Lent.
There will be a series of talks every Wednesday from 7.30-8.30pm during Great Lent at the church on the theme: Living A Crucified Life With Christ.


I request all my parishioners to find some time to read and meditate the daily devotions and attend the talks on Wednesdays regularly. Hope these initiatives will help us to develop a deeper relation with our master Jesus Christ.


Yours in Christ's love,
Eapen Abraham Achen

VERSE OF THE DAY

[God told Moses to look at the Promised Land, since he was not going to cross this Jordan, then God said:] "Commission Joshua, and encourage and strengthen him, for he will lead this people across and will cause them to inherit the land that you will see."
