Lent is a season of holy contrasts.�
It opens in the ash‑dark sorrow of repentance and rises into the bright alleluias of Easter dawn. Midweek, we linger with the passion history, tracing the suffering and death of Jesus. Yet each Sunday breaks in like a small Easter, a breath of hope along the wilderness road.�
From the earliest days of the Church, Lent formed new Christians—teaching them the faith as they prepared for baptism and full belonging at Easter. This year, we walk that ancient path again, listening closely to the Epistle readings appointed for the season. Each one shines a sharp light on the great opposites of the Christian life. �
Through preaching, teaching, and stark black‑and‑white art, we will let these contrasts speak: sinful humanity and the redeeming God‑Man, self‑reliance and trust, darkness and light, the old self and the new.Here we glimpse the great reversal—death giving way to life, humility lifting us into glory. Only Christ could make such a transformation, stooping low so that we might be raised.�
May these Lenten contrasts deepen your joy in what God has done. May they show who we were on our own, and who we are now in Christ.
