Looking Forward to Easter With Joy: Benedict’s Pathway Through Lent
February 19 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm CST
Free-will offering
This is Sophia’s gift to you to help you get off to a good start on your Easter journey. Join Sr. Anne Elizabeth as she delves into the Rule of Benedict to see what Benedict has to say about celebrating Lent. Surprisingly, the two occurrences of the word “joy” in Benedict’s rule both occur in the chapter on Lent. Surprising because, for many of us, joy is not our first response to the season! In this session, we will explore the Lenten practices Benedict sets forth and their relevance to our own Lenten journey to Easter with joy and deeper awareness of our life in Christ.
Please register by February 17.
