The Melody of Lent


 

We wind down and wrap up another week.  As has been the practice, I want to give you space to name and notice your learnings this week.

What new insight did you learn that was meaningful?

What questions did this hymn awaken?

When did this hymn help you find joy in this world?

How might this hymn help you as we journey closer to Jerusalem with Jesus and prepare for Holy Week?

If you have not already, I invite you to post a comment of an encounter with joy from this week.  I invite this because I do believe joy is generative and seeing/hearing your joy awakens joy within me! 

So may you, my brothers and sisters, discover a joy that the world doesn’t give – God gives.  May you discover a joy that can live with the brokenness with an insistence that both can co-exist.  May you sense a joy that the world can’t take away, but you can give away, because there are always new joys formed and fashioned by our still creating God.  Let that joy be our prayer this day and every day.  Amen.
