Lent is the forty day season that acts as a liminal space for us to open ourselves up to transformation, and leads us into the celebration of new life and Easter. This week, we look at the Gospel reading from Luke 15:1-3, 11-32; the story of the Prodigal Son. Anna Hammond reminds us that we can trust that God is with us as we seek to restore the lost things in our lives. We are also reminded that, as “Easter people,” we know death and loss are not the end, love wins, and soon we will celebrate our renewal and the grace of God.

Lent is the forty day season that acts as a liminal space for us to open ourselves up to transformation, and leads us into the celebration of new life and Easter. This week, we look at the Gospel reading from Luke 13:1-9 and find Jesus’ invitations to ask better questions and turn to God. And through these invitations we can see that easy answers, assumptions, and cheap cliques keep us from solidarity, empathy, and compassion.
